The representative of the team of the Ukrainian, who recently completed the training camp before the second fight with Joshua, is amazed by the condition of the world champion.

Klimas spoke about this in an interview for the IFL TV YouTube channel..

" I just got back from Dubai yesterday where I finished training camp. Usyk is ready. It's hard to tell what's going on in his head, but he's very strong, trains very hard - swims 10 kilometers, cycles 100 kilometers, spends 4 minutes and 40 seconds underwater without air.. I think he is very well prepared.

It's hard to tell if Joshua will be more dangerous. The ring will show everything. I'm sure Joshua studied Usyk. They have already shared the ring for 12 rounds.. They know each other. Will be curious.

I never give predictions, but I hope Usyk will stop Joshua this time,"

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. Three of them he held 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..

32-year-old Joshua has 24 wins (22 by KO) and two losses.. 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.
