At dawn on September 26 (Vietnam time), Anthony Joshua will be with the Oleksandr usyk challenge in the 12 match against WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO. Commenting USYK is the most dangerous opponent in his career after Wladimir Klitschko, Joshua still believes that he will win.
“The biggest drawback he can take for from me is that I rarely play with opponents on the left (Southpaw).
“I was only prepared to deal with him for 3 months now. Three months are enough for me to practice how to get the corner, how to control the game when confronting a Southpaw puncher.”
“Usyk must have heard bored about the stories of Southpaw punchers who defeated Orthodox players. My job is to prove the opposite is also possible. A ORTHODOX puncher will also cause many difficulties for the Southpaw.”
Anthony Joshua has always rated Oleksandr Usyk very high. That is not without reason.
USYK owns a very good French set, dangerous angles and scary mischief on the stage. After finishing the competition in the Amateur system with a record of 335 wins and only 15 losses, USYK only need 15 matches to become an absolute champion in the CRUEREWEIGHT, and still maintain the achievement of winning after 18 matches.
Joshua knew his advantage in this match. He is taller, longer arms, larger bodybuilding and much more power of Knockout than Oleksandr Usyk. But standing in front of a technical master like Usyk, only big children are not sure.
“I tried my best in this training to devote a performance with the best technique,” Joshua said.
“Everything is not simply taking my body thinner, thinner or softer. I had to push myself to my limit, so that my body was used to the tension and forced me to hold a cold head during that process.”
“This training also caused me to break many things about how to set foot, how to control the punches first. Many boxers have forgotten the importance of jabs when they have to confront Southpaw punchmen, but actually Jab has a great effect.”
“Usyk seems to be very confident. His team is the same. I guess that anyone who just looks at me on YouTube will think about confronting me is easy. But the feeling that when confronting me will be different. In the next night, I will let him see where my spiritual strength is, my blood, my hometown has brought me what strength.”
