Joshua: "After Klitschko, I haven't fought such strong opponents as Usyk yet"

"As for the best competitors I've ever faced, I'd put Usyk in second place. Only Wladimir Klitschko was the best opponent "on paper". Technically, they are completely different boxers, but they were both Olympic champions. Usyk was very successful at cruiserweight, and so far he's been performing well at heavyweight as well. He's not only a southpaw, but he's been fighting righties all his life. And we right-handers very rarely fight left-handers. Usyk has a good, strong jaw, and he's hard to box with because he's slippery and aukward. "On paper" I haven't dealt with such a good boxer since Klitschko," Joshua said.
