Golovkin predicted a rematch between Usyk and Joshua

WBA and IBF world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin considers WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk will come out victorious again from the battle with Anthony Joshua.

The Kazakh veteran believes that the British boxer will only have a chance of success if he changes tactics radically from their first meeting.

“Anthony needs to be a wild animal. He doesn't need to think about the beauty of boxing, he should be a beast. If Joshua changes dramatically, he can win. But, probably, we will see everything that Anthony showed in the first fight. Therefore, I think that Usyk will win, ”The Telegraph quotes Golovkin as saying.

The rematch between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In their first meeting, held in September last year, the Ukrainian won by unanimous decision.
