Joshua did not hesitate to name the winner of the Usyk – Fury rematch

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) does not doubt that Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) will beat Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) for the second time. On the eve of the boxers' rematch on December 21, the Briton noted that our compatriot is superior in class.

Joshua, who has twice lost to Usyk, expressed this confident opinion in an interview with the Business Day portal. The 35-year-old native of Watford emphasized that the rematch will certainly be difficult for both boxers, but the result will again be on the side of the Ukrainian super champion.

"My feeling is that it will be a very tough fight in the early rounds, but then Usyk will win again. Usyk is a first-class fighter. One of the best right now, I think. That's why I think he's going to win," Joshua said without hesitation.

It should be noted that the Ukrainian boxer is considered the favorite of the rematch. Thus, GGBET analysts claim that the bet on boxing Usyk vs Fury 2 with odds of 1.68 on the victory of our compatriot is the closest to the final result. The success of the Briton is estimated at 2.62. And the odds for a draw reach 18.00.

The day before, Oleksandr and Tyson completed preparations for the fight. The Ukrainian has already arrived in Riyadh, where he was met by his compatriots. In turn, Tyson told how he was going to beat our boxer and close the defeat in May.

On December 1, an epic promo for the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.

On October 23, Usyk and Fury had their first duel of looks before the second fight. The Ukrainian appeared unusually, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Before that, it became known that Tyson wanted to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to go down in boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
