Is Anthony Joshua in trouble against Oleksandr Usyk?
Unlike Anthony Joshua, Usyk isn’t a one-punch finisher. He takes his opponents in his range first and uses his fiery jabs and hooks to play with them, advancing himself on the scorecards. Once he figures out the distance, Usyk goes in for the kill.
In his past heavyweight fights against Derek Chisora and Chazz Witherspoon, Oleksandr Usyk showed these abilities. Hence, it won’t be far-fetched to assume that he might pull off something similar against ‘AJ’ too.
The Brit will pose a different challenge to Usyk, as he’s a more agile and powerful fighter than the other two heavyweights. That being said, it won’t be so easy for Usyk to trouble Joshua. However, as a former undisputed champion, Usyk will surely have something in the bag for the biggest fight of his career.
