Evander Holyfield Warns Anthony Joshua: “You Ain’t Gonna Outbox This Little Guy”

Anthony Joshua seems confident about avenging his second professional loss against Oleksandr Usyk in an immediate rematch. Following a massive upset in September, AJ has gone for the rematch without having any second thoughts.

As he avenged his maiden loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019, Joshua may expect to do something similar against Usyk. However, former two-division champion Evander Holyfield has pointed at several problems ahead of ‘AJ’.

‘The Real Deal’ connected with Blue Blood Sports TV and said, “Here’s a guy that could box and Anthony Joshua can box too. But he didn’t fight the fight that was, I guess, beneficial to him. He is a big guy, now how are you gonna outbox a little guy? You ain’t gonna outbox this little guy. He’s a little bit more quicker. So, you have to fight him like a big man. You got to step through him and blow him out.”

Anthony Joshua needs to beat Oleksandr Usyk

‘AJ’, who has been one of the best in the heavyweight division, continues to hold the same position. But after his recent loss, he has gone out of the current title picture.

As for Usyk, he is undefeated and is a former undisputed cruiserweight champion. While no one had envisioned him beating Joshua, he turned the tables in style and became the unified heavyweight champion. When they rematch, he will look to do the same again and eject Joshua from the title picture.
