Boxing fans were waiting for the opinion of the charismatic trainer and expert Teddy Atlas on the fight for the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts - Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua II in Jeddah. Atlas did not disappoint, presenting an interesting forecast for the most important fight of the year.
“Usyk has a choice... In the first fight, he fought strategically, controlled the situation and was relatively cautious. He did everything perfectly, he shocked Joshua and did not let him do anything. He leveled the right hand of the Briton, acted wisely. Joshua complains that being left-handed is a nightmare for him. I have a piece of advice for AJ: prepare well for a southpaw fight. Prepare well, move, avoid his left arm," Atlas said.
“The Ukrainian can fight even harder than the first time, although he doesn’t have to. However, he can be even more confident. He knows that he was able to shock Joshua, and maybe he will step on the gas a little harder. I bet again on Usyk, ”added the American.
“I know what I saw in the first battle. Joshua has taken a lot of offense, and lately he's been making more excuses. If Usyk again hits hard with his left ... ”- the popular specialist completed this topic.
