Alexander Usyk and Anthony Joshua square off incredibly soon in a fight that could potentially define the legacy of Joshua, currently one of the biggest draws in boxing.
Joshua lost a fairly convincing decision to the smaller Ukrainian boxer last September, struggling with the technical boxing and sheer speed of Usyk, who has spent a significant portion of his boxing career fighting at heavyweight.
Can Joshua make the necessary adjustments to change the clear outcome of the first fight? This will be a significant challenge, but Joshua has bounced back from defeat before. After losing to Andy Ruiz in 2019, he bounced back and won a convincing decision just six months later.
