Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk’s fight is inching closer with time. The pair will meet each other this weekend for Joshua’s WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles. This contest is one of the most-awaited and perhaps the most important fight of the heavyweight division of 2021. Also, it is said to be the British boxer’s sternest test, because he hasn’t faced a more tactical and calculated fighter like Usyk before.
