On Saturday night, the heavyweight knockout sensation, Anthony Joshua, will enter the boxing ring to defend his straps against Oleksandr Usyk. This tussle between the two is unique in its own way and fans are expecting an intense show.
Also, this fight will be a stern test for both fighters. Because Joshua, in his exemplary boxing run, hasn’t faced someone as technical as Usyk. Whereas the latter has never locked horns with someone as scary as Joshua in terms of power and overall movement.
Also, ‘AJ’ is considered a favorite in this fight as he’ll enjoy a fine edge over Usyk with his power and physical stature. Many fans are even rooting for a knockout win for Joshua in this slugfest. But the Ukrainian boxer won’t let ‘AJ’ do the same so easily.
