The British boxer, who on the eve threatened to “knock out” Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch, shared his memories of the title fight with Klitschko Jr., which took place in April 2017.

Then AJ defeated Vladimir by technical knockout in the 11th round..

" Young lion vs old lion. When I fought with him, I thought that I came out early against the aksakal, but this was his last fight..

So if I didn't fight him it would be too late. Sometimes due to lack of experience we complicate things. He had more knockouts than me combined fights and knockouts in the track record. He was experienced and very strong. It was a tough fight.

With Vladimir, it took me 11 rounds, which has never happened before. It was definitely my toughest fight,"

Recall that Wladimir Klitschko said that he was going to return to the ring for the sake of a record and fight with WBC title holder Tyson Fury. However, the full-scale war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine made adjustments to the plans of the legendary Ukrainian.
