Oleksandr Usyk is the frontrunner to take on Anthony Joshua in an epic rematch on August 20, streamed live at Sky Sports Box Office. However, the fight will be very different from their first encounter, and boxing experts warn against taking former heavyweight champion Joshua lightly.
“Many say Usyk [wins] It will be difficult to go against them. It looks like a tough fight for both sides, but I know what Joshua has to do to defeat Usik – use his size and strength and be a bit of a bully.” Two-division world champion Carl Frampton said. sky sports.
“But what worries me is that I don’t think Joshua can do it for very long. I can’t.
“He has to do it in a spurt and when he has a round that uses a lot of energy, I think sometimes he has to turn off the next round… his make.
“But I think he has to come close. He has to use rough tactics and impose his strength. It’s a bit like that. [Wladimir] Klitschko used to be able to punch, push and exhaust people. But is it possible? ”
Usyk can also fully adapt to the second fight.
“Usik is obviously a very clever fighter. I think he expects a different type of approach from Joshua this time around because he has to,” Frampton said.
“You put a gun to my head [to make a prediction], I say Usyk will win the battle. But I don’t think it’s going to be easy, as many people do. ”
Either way, Frampton expects to finish inside the distance.
“Because of what AJ had to do in the fight, he was exhausted at the end of the last fight and injured at the end of the last fight, so I think he should be kicked out. In the case of Usyk, I think he’ll probably be stopped late,” he said.
“I hope I’m wrong.”

“We really worked hard to make that deal happen,” said Boxxer’s Ben Shalom. “I’m not a promoter [of this event]it’s not up to me where the fight goes, but we were very keen for it to land on Skye. I feel it’s the biggest fight of my career.
“Do the biggest fights on the biggest platforms possible, reach as many people as possible, and that’s what we ended up with.”
“As a boxing fan, I see that,” he added. [first] Fight, when the fight happened, if everyone were to take their minds back to the next day or the week after they said AJ should never go near Oleksandr again. He’s outboxed when I try to do that.” Eight months later, I think we’re in a 50-50 fight.
“Maybe it’s because of the changes Anthony has made to training camps, trainers and mentality that this fight has become fairer and 50-50. We’re glad AJ’s mind has changed.” I think we’ve all seen it. Maybe his game plan wasn’t right and his heart wasn’t right either.
“So what if his game plan is right and his heart is right too? Those are the two big question marks, right? I’m sure we can,” Frampton concluded.
