Ex-world champion in two divisions Ricky Hatton shared his views on the upcoming rematch between WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion Alexander Usik (19-0, 13 KOs) and Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).

" We have seen for many years what Usyk is capable of.. We saw his heavyweight dominance and what he did with Joshua last year..

But now is a worrying time for Usyk and his compatriots.. Boxing is the last thing on his mind. It will be hard for him to go out and fight Anthony Joshua.

Joshua needs to be ready for a rematch because Usyk will fight for his country to make the right message. There's a lot going on in the minds of both fighters," com with a link to Metro.

Recall that on September 25 last year, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision and took away all his titles from the Briton..

Usyk returned to Ukraine and joined the territorial defense after the start of the Russian military invasion. Later it became known that the world champion left Ukraine to prepare for revenge against the British.
