JAKARTA - Anthony Joshua joined in the rematch of Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury from the edge of the ring.
The 34-year-old boxer did not make a fuss in giving his predictions. He insisted that the duel would be won by Usyk again.
Joshua in other words wants to convey that Fury will not be able to avenge his only defeat in his brilliant professional boxing career.
As is known, Usyk gave Fury his first defeat in their first duel after a record 34 wins and a draw.
"I thought it would be a tough fight at the start. Then, I felt Usyk would win again."
"He (Usyk) is a classy fighter. I feel Usyk is one of the best out there. That's why I think he will win," Anthony Joshua told Queensberry Promotions.

"On December 21, 2024 in Riyadh, at the heart of the kingdom, the king will reclaim his throne and become the undisputed (weight world champion)."
"Usyk, I'm coming for you! Get up for the King to greet you! The path to forgiveness is mine. I know what to do. I see my shortcomings and really believe that I am inevitable," Fury wrote.
