Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will headline the main event on Saturday night. Usyk is a mandatory challenger for Joshua and he’ll probably have the biggest opportunity of his life to get his hands on all of Joshua’s belts. But success isn’t going to come to him so easily since the Brit is one highly technical and intimidating fighter.

But, the former cruiserweight champ is pretty optimistic about this fight. He is waiting to prove his mettle against the very best of the current era as it’ll help him cement his legacy for a substantial time ahead.

Recently, Usyk was in a conversation with Boxing Social. Here, he revealed what the fans should expect from him on Saturday night.

Regardless of that, Joshua is a sure threat to him, and he has every weapon in the bag to give the ex-cruiserweight stalwart his first ‘L’. But Usyk will come in prepared for a 12-round fiery slugfest because if he loses on this opportunity, the chances of him getting another fight with ‘AJ’ are slim.

Can Oleksandr Usyk withstand Anthony Joshua’s power?

Usyk has never faced someone as powerful as Joshua before. That said, this fight will prove if Usyk has a good chin or if he has a defense good enough to claim victory against the Briton.
