The Gypsy King showed in the video how AJ can attack Usyk to outclass him. But only time will tell us the techniques AJ uses to fight his ferocious opponent. 

Anthony Joshua comments on Oleksandr Usyk’s new physique transformation 

Recently Usyk posted a short clip of himself on Twitter, and fans couldn’t stop talking about it. That is because he has put on a considerable amount of muscle and looks huge. The clip quickly garnered attention from fans and boxing entities. Simultaneously, Joshua has been focussing on his prep lately and was not spotted in interviews or other places. However, he finally came clean on Usyk’s size. 

AJ was doing an interview with ‘Behind The Gloves’, and he was quizzed about his upcoming opponent’s new physique, “Usyk’s size, I’m curious what your thoughts are on the photographs that have been released. He looks a lot bigger. Your thoughts?”

Furthermore, Joshua responded by saying, “Have you seen him yet?” After hearing a “no,” he said, “Neither have I. Photos are deceiving though. They are right? It is supposed to deceive me so, when I see him in person, that’s all I can say. I don’t mean I haven’t really seen any photos.”  

The British heavyweight believes that photographs are deceiving and will wait to see what happens when he faces Usyk on the day of the bout. As Joshua was defeated by the Ukrainian fighter during their first encounter, he will be looking to avenge the same.
