In particular, the American noted that the Ukrainian showed great courage and won a fair victory..

" To do this, you need to set up. Mustache hit me. The little guy showed great courage.

Most small fighters adapt to being pressed by opponents, so they work much harder.. They understand that they need to work much harder. As Anthony Joshua said, he is used to knocking out opponents.

My Opinion on the Judgment Note in favor of Joshua? Usyk won. Everyone has their own opinion. You can think otherwise, but the decision was in favor of Usyk, and he is happy. It was a tough fight for him,"

In the rematch, held in the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision of the judges: 113-115, 115-113, 116-112. Thus, the Ukrainian defended all the titles that he took away from the British in London last year, and also won the vacant belt of The Ring magazine.

Now the 35-year-old Usyk has 20 wins (13 by knockout) in 20 fights. He held four 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 knockout) and three 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.
