Renowned Russian MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and WBO mandatory title challenger Oleksandr Usyk.
"Alexander has great stamina, he throws punches well, and let's not forget that he is a knockout. Sasha constantly presses his opponent, has a great arsenal of different punches and always uses different combinations, very rarely repeating himself. The Ukrainian boxer doesn't allow his opponents a break and time to make necessary decisions, trying to drive them into stalemate so they have no chance to defend actively.
And if his opponent is tightly defended, even then Sasha cracks open the defense with his wide array of moves. As for his blows even light, as it may seem, pokes from Usyk are very powerful and they can easily take out his opponent from the equilibrium. The Ukrainian is a quick, energetic puncher and he always makes his opponent nervous.
I believe that in this fight Joshua has no chance in spite of all his merits in the past. In my opinion, British boxer has to give his belts to Ukrainian boxer after this fight," Emelianenko said.
The Joshua vs Usyk fight will take place on the night of September at the Tottenham Hotspur Arena in London.
