Anthony Joshua SURPRISED BY Alexander Usyk's VERY BAD BODY SHAPE BEFORE THE REMATCH FIGHT / Fury

Anthony Joshua SURPRISED BY Alexander Usyk's VERY BAD BODY SHAPE BEFORE THE REMATCH FIGHT Fury Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov believes that the WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk agreed to a rematch with Anthony Joshua in vain "Business relations have been preserved, and the rest is everyone's personal business. But I think this is a very significant factor that will greatly affect the form of Alexander Usyk. I do not know what led him to the decision to hold this fight, but I probably had to wait. Of course, I will be rooting for Usyk. He is a very respected athlete and person. Joshua will be physically stronger. I think he is using what is his chance - superiority in physical form. It will be much more accurate, and I think that combinations will appear that will begin to cut off the Tendril from being able to shift. Maybe the coaches will add something. Obviously, it will be a more powerful Anthony Joshua," said Vladimir Hryunov. Former European champion and current boxing columnist Spencer Oliver suggests that British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) on the eve of a rematch with Ukrainian Alexander Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) would do well to use a primitive, but valid plan for the fight of compatriot Dereck Chisora Usyk spent the last two fights at this point in London (England) — first defeated Chisora, then took the WBA Super, IBF and WBO belts from Joshua. Interestingly, Chisora's obvious underdog offered a more worthy resistance to the Ukrainian in comparison with his star compatriot. Usyk and Joshua are expected to have a rematch this summer. Oliver argues: "Chisora showed an effective plan for the fight. He showed how you can beat a Mustache. It's simple: he constantly exerted pressure, did not let go, bet on power, weight and size advantage. And at some point, Usyk even felt stuffy in the ring. Joshua should work in the same way, but not so rough and sweeping. He is more explosive compared to Chisora. And his punches are much more effective. If everything is done correctly, then it is quite possible to beat the Tendril. But I'm not saying it will be easy to do. It's not like that." In Britain, now and then they talk about Joshua's future prospects. For example, in case of repeated defeat to the Ukrainian. Oliver's opinion: "He really drove himself into a blind corner. And his career is now hanging by a thread. If he is going to continue to perform at the top level, then he is absolutely obliged to win. Yes, there will be other options. But this is really exactly the kind of fight in which only victory is needed." Mandatory challenger for the WBC heavyweight title Dillian White broke his silence and met with reporters before the fight against WBC champion Tyson Fury, which will be held on April 23 in London at Wembley Stadium. "There are a few days left. We had a good training camp," White said. — We have been preparing hard. We have no illusions about what I'm going to do. I'm going to be up against a big guy and I'm going to have a tough fight, and obviously he's an undefeated champion. But I believe I can beat him. I believe in my victory, and it would be nice to shut the mouths of the skeptics." "Look, I've been written off my whole life," White added. — I will not tell my story, but I was constantly written off, and there is nothing new for me here. I was written off by my close ones — relatives, friends, teachers at school, neighbors, so some guy on the Internet and a journalist writing nonsense about me means nothing to me. There is nothing new for me here." White also commented, although without going into details, why he has just now joined the promotion of the fight, and noted that there are no personal motives and hostility in this. "It's a business,— White said. — This is not a Tyson Fury show. It's me and Tyson Fury. He boxed with Wilder, and not all the tickets were sold for any fight. This is the Tyson Fury and Dillian White show. We're both going to fight, and everything has to be done right. We can perform together, but this is not a one-way road. There were issues that needed to be resolved, that's all."
