So, Frampton believes that the Ukrainian will win the rematch in the future, but it will not be easy for him.

He said this in an interview with Sky Sports..

" It seems like it's an uphill battle for both guys, but we know what Joshua has to do to try and beat Usyk - use his size, strength, and be a bit of a bully..

I don't think Joshua will be able to be active for long.. I'm worried that he can't fight at a high pace, push and get close to his opponent for a long fight. He needs to do it in bursts, and I think that when he has a round in which he spends a lot of energy, he needs to take a break from time to time for the next round.. It's because of his size and build.. But I think he should get close, should use brute force.

Of course, Usyk is a very smart fighter.. This time he will expect a different approach from Joshua as Anthony needs to change. If you put a gun to my head, I will say that Alexander will win this duel.. But I don't think it will be as easy as many people think.. Joshua was exhausted and hit at the end of the first fight. In my opinion, in a rematch, if Anthony does not stop Usyk at the very beginning, then later he himself will lose ahead of schedule. I hope I'm wrong,"

The second battle between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.. In June, the official announcement of revenge between the Ukrainian and the British took place.

Recall that on the night of September 26, 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua in London. by unanimous decision - 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113, and won the IBF, WBO, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles. After that, the Briton activated the option of revenge, prescribed in the contract for the first fight..

So in the rematch, all the titles that the Ukrainian took away from the Brit last year will be at stake..

The 35-year-old Usyk has 19 wins (13 by knockout) in 19 fights. He spent three of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there..

Joshua, 32, has 24 wins (22 by KO) and two losses on his track record.. For the first time, AJ lost in June 2019 to Andy Ruiz, but in December of the same year he defeated the Mexican in a rematch and regained his titles.
