Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF super heavyweight champion, expressed his prediction about a possible fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Usyk gave his preference to the British boxer Joshua.
"Wilder or Joseph Parker? Wilder, by knockout. A match between Joshua and Otto Wallin? Joshua will win. If Wilder fights Joshua, Anthony can beat Deontay," Usyk said in an interview with ESNEWS.
Usyk's words sparked a debate among boxing fans, especially given his own experience with both boxers. It is worth noting that Usyk previously won titles in the heavyweight division, defeating Joseph Parker, and maintained his unbeaten record in the super heavyweight division.
Predictions of boxers always arouse the curiosity of boxing fans, and Usyk's statement becomes another additional talking point in the world of sports. Discussions of a possible Joshua-Wilder fight are expected to continue to grow, especially given the high interest in boxing's heavyweight division.
