Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 is set to be one of the most touted rematches in recent times. Both fighters would look to get a victory and further solidify their legacies on the path to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. The bout is set to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 2oth August. Moreover, Usyk will be defending the unified championships that he won against Joshua in their first match.

Leading up to fight the many boxers, including Canelo Alvarez, and Ryan Garcia, gave their predictions. Alvarez picked AJ to win the fight, hilariously stating that it was because he was the younger fighter. Garcia also picked Joshua and claimed that he would have made the adjustments necessary after losing the previous match.

“I’m going with AJ this time around. I think he’ll make the adjustments. I like Robert Garcia in his corner. He’ll teach him to you know be more aggressive, fight off the front foot more. I think he needs to put that pressure on Usyk.” said Garcia. He also added that Usyk was more of a conventional boxer who focused on movement and does not possess the power of a heavyweight. ” Usyk’s a boxer. Usyk can break you down, but Usyk is not a big puncher for a heavyweight.” He added.

This was not all as boxing legends: Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., and Evander Holyfield also gave their predictions for the fight along with some advice.
