In September, Ukrainian boxing superstar Oleksandr Usyk defeated then heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua after 12 rounds at the New White Hart Lane Stadium in London, England, becoming the new IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight world champion.
After the match, Anthony Joshua, the losing side, activated the second-game agreement signed before the game as soon as possible. Oleksandr Usik is required to take up his challenge in the first quarter of next year.
The main reason why Anthony Joshua was in such a hurry to fight the second game was because many of the biggest names in the boxing world pointed out that Anthony Joshua was too conservative in this match and believed that he used the wrong tactics against Oleksandr Usik. In the face of Oleksandr Usik, the most technically gifted boxer in the world, there can be no mistake in the tactical arrangement.
Apparently, Anthony Joshua also agreed with the evaluation of his previous performance, so he made it clear in a later interview with reporters that he would be aggressive in the following matches and would knock out Oleksandr Usik in the second match. To better prepare for a second-world showdown with Oleksandr Usik, Anthony Joshua flew to the United States last month. According to internal sources, Anthony Joshua will meet with several coaches. So there's a lot of speculation that Anthony Joshua is planning to add another coach to his team, and that the new coach will be in charge of Anthony Joshua's preparations along with Anthony Joshua's original coach, Robert McCracken.
When Dazn's reporter told Oleksandel Usik about the situation, Oleksander Usik was very relaxed. He told the dazn reporter: "I've heard rumors about Anthony Joshua hiring another coach for next year's game, and while I don't know who he's going to hire at the moment, to be honest it doesn't matter to me who trains him. ”
"My goal is clear, to be prepared for everything. The purpose of my current training is to improve my personal ability, not to deal with one of my opponents. I watched an anthony Joshua's previous interview video and knew he had promised to be more aggressive and threatening in World War II. If that's the case, that's great. I'd love to experience a different side of Anthony Joshua, and I'm sure it will make the second game more interesting, and it's going to be another great game. Oleksandr Usik told reporters without fear.
However, the two who were also gold medalists in boxing at the London Olympics are still very heroic. While criticism of Anthony Joshua's performance was raised, Oleksandr Usik expressed a different view.
"Unfortunately, in the time after the game, all I heard was criticism of Anthony Joshua. I couldn't understand why they were so demanding of Anthony Joshua's performance, because it was me who played with Anthony Joshua in the ring that day, and in my eyes he did very well. I really don't know where these people find reasons to criticize Anthony Joshua. Oleksandr Usik explained to reporters.
In the interview, Oleksandr Usik also showed enough confidence in next year's Second World War. He told reporters: "I am now preparing for another challenging match with Anthony Joshua next year and I will beat Anthony Joshua at my best to defend my title as World Boxer. ”
