Teddy ATLAS – About the possible fight between Usyk and Joyce: “It’s going to be hell”

American Teddy Atlas, 66, who previously coached WBC light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk, predicted his chances of fighting British heavyweight Joe Joyce’s compatriot Tyson Fury and, as you know, Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, who, as you know, is his owner. Heavyweight division with WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF championships.

“I’ve said before that Joyce reminds me of George Foreman. He’s big and strong and hits hard. He doesn’t trust speed, he’ll beat you with a stick. He comes with a strong and long telegraph pole needle. He has great determination and a strong jaw like George Foreman. And He brings the war to a “kill or be killed” line. It imposes its power on you and forces you to fight by its own rules.

If Joyce gets Fury right at the start of the fight and goes forward like he did, then it will be interesting. If Usyk can use his abilities, if he can move, if he can dodge, if he can work from angles… God, it won’t be easy. It’s going to be hell,” Atlas said on his YouTube podcast.

Earlier, we recall, Teddy Atlas expressed doubts about the prospects of Anthony Joshua, who had previously been twice defeated by Oleksandr Usyk, depriving him of the championship belts.
