Former two-weight world champion and current TV expert Timothy Bradley believes former IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) must find a way to regain his old killer instinct to win a rematch, tentatively scheduled for the spring, against current champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs)
"I think Tyson Fury might be too much for Usyk. They are both very good technically, Tyson Fury knows how to counterattack and apply pressure. I think the first half of the fight will be interesting, and in the second half Fury will find a way to get to Usyk. "The Ukrainian is not a big 'heavyweight' and he needs to be pressured to be uncomfortable in the ring," Bradley said.
"Anthony Joshua's mentality is very different from Fury's mentality. Joshua accepts failure, he has no problem with it. It comes easy to him. You train hard, but when the whole world is at your feet, you have a hard time concentrating. Success weakens the psyche. Joshua's first fight against Andy Ruiz Jr. He lost by knockout. He's afraid of head punches, so he takes his time throwing his punches himself. He has to fight like a giant, he has to ask himself: where's my killer instinct, where's the guy who fought Wladimir Klitschko? That guy would beat Usyk," Bradley said.
