This morning, Oleksandr Usyk defeated former King Anthony Joshua by calculating the consensus after an extremely excellent performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before more than 60,000 fans. Now USYK is the owner of 4 WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO championship belts.
“I did not defeat Knockout Anthony Joshua for my coach, the person standing in my corner, did not allow me to do it,” Oleksandr Usyk said after the match.
“In the first half, I was very aggressive to attack Joshua, trying to take him down. But then my coach said:” Stop, you have to follow the plan. “
“The match took place exactly the way I expected. There were a few moments of Anthony punched me quite well. But nothing more special.”
Oleksandr Usyk has two situations that can lead to Knockout in the match against Anthony Joshua. The first time was in the third half, when he punched Joshua hard by the correct left punch, causing Joshua's eyes to swell. After that, another attack situation in the 12th half could also send Joshua on the floor.
USYK also sent a warning to the opponents of the same weight class: “This is not the best USYK version on the stage. I may be much more scary.”
Talking about becoming the third fighter in the history of winning the championship in both Cruiserweight and Heavyweight, Usyk asserted that this is “very significant” to him.
Oleksandr Usyk is now 19-0, a cruiserweight champion and only one WBC belt to become the absolute champion of heavy.
The former Vitali Klitschko champion, guests sitting next to the floor in this match, commented:
“A excellent match. Too smart. Oleksandr had a perfect performance. He was the second Ukrainian puncher with more than a heavy championship after Wladimir Klitschko.”
Another guest, the world's top puncher Vasiliy Lomachenko also affirmed the success of Oleksandr Usyk: “A top -notch performance and a match that goes into history. Now Usyk has been recorded in history!”
