The Ring magazine asked boxing experts about the outcome of Saturday's rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. Only 2 of them predict the victory of the British, and 18 people believe in the repeated triumph of the Ukrainian.
Robert Diaz of Golden Boy Promotions, for example, is betting on Joshua. In his opinion, the Englishman will get a big advantage in the first rounds and eventually win on points. Journalist Anson Wainwright also believes in the same scenario.
Usyki's victory is predicted by former world champions Sergio Mora, Paul Malignaggi, Andy Lee and Raul Marquez. Promoter Kathy Duva and Canadian coach Mark Ramsay are also confident that the Ukrainian will defend the championship belts.
