‘AJ’ has also sent a stern warning to Usyk during a brief interaction with Kugan Cassius of IFL TV. Having seen the second loss of his pro career, Anthony Joshua seems frustrated.

“I’m done with f***ing losing. I’m done with trying to learn the sweet science. He might get thrown on the floor in the next fight because this is war. It’s just straight war, I’m annoyed. I’m boiling up even speaking about it – it’s that passion to win,” said Anthony Joshua (H/T:- Michael Benson)

Usyk handed Joshua a lopsided beat down in their original in-ring affair. It came as an absolute shock to the heavyweight fans. With his win, ‘The Cat’ ended the hopes for a potential AJ-Fury clash for all four titles. Besides, he also made AJ look vulnerable in the vicious heavyweight ride.

Can Anthony Joshua bounce back from the loss?

AJ avenged his maiden career loss against Andy Ruiz Jr brilliantly in 2019. That said, Usyk and Ruiz Jr. are way different from each other. Once a cruiserweight undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk is unbeaten as a professional boxer. He is one of the most technically sound punchers in the entire sport.

Thus, AJ shall have difficulties in outworking him. As a 12-round boxing bout didn’t prove very beneficial, the Brit should go for a KO. Anthony Joshua is known to be a hard-hitter and he may have to offer that to vanquish Usyk.
