Sergey DEREVYANCHENKO: “Joshua can surpass Usyk”
36-year-old Ukrainian boxer Sergey Derevyanchenko The WBA shared their expectations for the upcoming rematch between WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former champion Anthony Joshua.
I hope Usyk wins but I think this fight will be different from the first one. I think Joshua wanted a rematch. I think he works very hard. I don’t know who is the favourite. I think the chances are 50/50 Yes, the odds are even, because Joshua wanted a rematch. He wants to win. I believe it will show another box.
Do I think Joshua can only win by knockout? Number. I believe you can outrun Usyk. In the first fight, Joshua managed to box, but Usyk won. Joshua will make a difference in this fight. I think it will be more aggressive. In this case, he will have a chance. But Usyk moves very well, his legs work very well and he takes the corners well. Let’s see what happens,” said Derevyanchenko.
The rematch will be played by Oleksandr Usyk – Anthony Joshua on 20 August in Jeddah.
