Former middleweight title contender Sergey Derevyanchenko thinks that Anthony Joshua there are chances of winning a rematch with the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in the heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk.
“I hope that Usyk wins, but I think that this fight will not be the same as the first. I think Joshua wanted a rematch. It seems to me that he works a lot. I don't know who to consider as a favorite. I think the chances are 50/50. Yes, the odds are even, because Joshua wanted a rematch. He wants to win. I believe that he will show another box.
Do I think that Joshua can only win by knockout? No. I believe that he is capable of outboxing Usyk. In the first fight, Joshua managed to box, but Usyk won. In this fight, Joshua will change something. I think he will be more aggressive. In this case, he will have a chance. But Usyk moves very well, his legs work great, and he uses corners. Let's see what happens," Sergey Derevyanchenko said in an interview with Themistode YouTube channel.
Recall that Usyk's rematch with Joshua will take place on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
