Joshua bets on Usyk in fight with Fury

Anthony Joshua believes Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs) a slight favorite in the fight against Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 24 KOs).

“I fought Usyk, he’s a phenomenal fighter, he has a great team around him,” praised former opponent AJ in an interview with Boxing Social. “In sports, you’re only as good as your team, and he’s great!”

“Having been in the ring with him, analyzing him and continuing to analyze him, I think he might have a little better chance of winning,” Joshua added.

The fight between Usik and Fury, at which four heavyweight championship belts will be at stake, is scheduled for February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
