"This is the highest level." Joshua explains why Usyk will beat Fury

British boxer Anthony Joshua (27-3, 23 KOs) has reaffirmed his bet on Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) to win against Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). The Watford native noted that he believes the Ukrainian is a phenomenal boxer who is also surrounded by a great team.

Joshua said this in an interview with the Boxing Social YouTube channel. The former three-time world champion noted that he is looking forward to the fight between Usyk and Fury on February 17. The Briton added that he intends to be present in Saudi Arabia in person, as it will be a historic evening of boxing.

"I really want to attend this fight. You've probably heard it a few times, but I think Usyk is a phenomenal fighter and he has a great team around him. You are only as good as your team, and he has a really good team. And after being in the ring with him and studying him, I think he's the one who can beat Fury. I say this based on my experience of fighting him, his skill in the ring. I think it's the highest level," Joshua said.

Earlier, he gave his unequivocal prediction for this fight. And in Russia, they told us how the Ukrainian's move to the super-heavyweight division affected the division.

The legendary Evander Holyfield explained why Usyk will win the fight against Fury. The Ukrainian didn' t reveal his tactical plan for the fight, but Oleksandr's camp told us about the progress of his preparations.
