Anthony Joshua NEEDS MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR A REMATCH WITH Alexander Usyk Fury CHALLENGED Usyk

Anthony Joshua NEEDS MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR A REMATCH WITH Alexander Usyk Fury CHALLENGED Usyk Former IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) says that his motivation to take revenge from Alexander Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) is fueled by anger at himself for the most offensive defeat in the fall in front of his own fans in England. In September, Usyk declassified Joshua, but the Briton applied an immediate rematch clause: their second fight is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022. "I know I can be better than I was that night—" the Briton told BBC Sport. - Yes, it's easier to say than to do, but in my heart and soul I really feel that I can give out a lot more. I'm angry, and it's growing, fueling me every day." Joshua believes that people "still recognize me as a champion, even though I don't have belts." "I had to make changes. If you don't change, you will get the same result. Now I'm doing something with a smile, but there's a lot of tension behind it, and the only way to get rid of it is to train and perform," Anthony said. Joshua is not thinking about a megafight with WBC champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) yet. "When this fight happens, then it will happen. I can't chase something that's not right in front of me. And before me is the task of becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion. That's my motivation," the Briton summed up. Joshua is preparing for a rematch, which is obliged to give his ex-champion under the contract for the first fight and can not immediately go to Fury. Tyson also asks Joshua to step aside so that he can quickly come out against Usyk. Anthony is already thinking. Eddie Hearn, Dillian White's promoter, explained why he does not believe in a positive result of negotiations on the organization of a fight between his ward and the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. "Now we need to know what the fee split will be. Obviously, we will find out when the promotional auction is announced. How can you negotiate with people who do not know the rules of fee sharing for a mandatory challenger who is also a "temporary" champion? Top Rank wants it to be 80/20 in favor of their fighter, which is impossible for a "temporary" champion. But we will insist on a distribution that we consider fair. So it will be difficult to reach an agreement until the distribution of the fee is determined. Only after that we all realize our position. It is unlikely that we will be able to reach an agreement sooner. I understand that Tyson Fury dictates the terms in this situation. Of course, if the offer is fair, then Dillian will agree to the terms of Top Rank and ESPN. But if this is not the case, then we have money that we are ready to invest in this fight, but in this case everything will be on our terms," Hearn said. The former world champion in four weight categories, American Roy Jones, shared his opinion on the fight between the British, WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury and Dillian White. "I think this is one of the most wonderful fights that could take place, especially now in the heavyweight division. We want to see similar fights. In the ring, a classic boxer will face off against a puncher. Definitely, Dillian White is a puncher. Fury loves to box, but also knows how to beat. So it will be a very interesting confrontation," Jones said. Recall that at the beginning of this month, the World Boxing Council (WBC) appointed Dillian White as an official contender for the title of Tyson Fury. There is no agreement between the parties yet, but it is expected that the rivals will fight in the first half of next year Joshua's victory by knockout in a fight with Kubrat Pulev, lopez defeated lomachenko and lomachenko lost to Lopez and lomachenko lopez rematch will take place, alexander usyk joe joyce fight will take place, lomachenko nakatani fight will also take place, usyk joshua and deontay wilder tyson fury fight, usyk knocked out joshua, usyk defeated joshua
