The world of professional boxing is abuzz with heated discussions about the future of the "Battle of Britain." Alexander Usyk, the undefeated Ukrainian champion and former undisputed heavyweight ruler, has made his prediction for the upcoming clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. According to the Ukrainian, the British fighter Anthony Joshua will come out on top in this principled bout.
Verdict After the Win Against Preng
Usyk shared his opinion after watching Anthony Joshua's last fight against German Christian Preng. The Brit managed to secure a convincing victory, knocking out his opponent. Usyk highly praised the quality of the fight, calling it "magnificent".
However, the Ukrainian boxer focused mainly on Joshua's future opponent. Answering questions, Usyk did not hide his attitude towards the upcoming match, using Tyson Fury's well-known nickname — "Big Baby".
"Magnificent fight, AJ won. But his next opponent is 'Big Baby' (Tyson Fury's nickname – ed.). And AJ will win again," stated Alexander Usyk.
Format of the "Battle of Britain"
Both boxers belong to the heavyweight elite and have a wealth of fighting experience. It is worth noting that Tyson Fury is also in excellent shape. On Friday, he defeated Polish fighter Mariusz Wach in Thailand. Thus, both contenders for the title of the strongest Briton step into the ring with a fresh victory on their record.
Usyk's prediction, coming from a legend of modern boxing himself, could become an important factor for bookmakers and fans ahead of the preparations for this high-profile event.
