David Haye believes that Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) must go all the way in a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and bet on dirty boxing.

“In the first fight, AJ didn’t fight the way I expected. You don't have to fight like that to increase your chances of winning,” David Haye said in an interview with the Mirror. - In my opinion, he used the worst tactics against a left-hander. He gave Usyk room to maneuver, and he carefully acted at his distance. He did not receive a single warning from the referee because he did not put pressure on Usyk. I think Joshua has rewatched the fight and will know what to do this time."

“Anthony has a good team that will convince him that this will not be a boxing match, but a tough fight from the first gong. He must hit on the verge of disqualification. He should use his physical strength, because there is no other like him in the heavyweight division, ”added Haye.

Joshua and Usyk will cross gloves on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
