Usik answered the question of why he didn't knockout Joshua

WBA, WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) explained why he didn't finish former holder of those belts Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) in their first fight.

"Why didn't I knock Joshua out? Why are you guys so bloodthirsty? The victory is there, everything is great. Why do you have to knock someone out? He has parents. It's a big blow to health when a fighter goes down. It's not mine," - quotes the words of Usik journalist Michael Benson in social network X.

Recall that Usik held two fights with Joshua, winning both times: in September 2021 by unanimous decision of judges, and in August 2022 - separate.
