It's worth noting that neither the Grant nor the Rival are so-called "knockout" gloves, as far as professional 10 oz heavyweight gloves can be considered unsuitable for hard punching. Both brands, according to the declared characteristics, are trying to maintain a balance of rigidity and protection of the hands. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to say unequivocally that Joshua's transition from Rival to Grant indicates that the Briton makes a clear bet on a knockout.
Joshua has changed the gloves he will wear to fight Usyk. Knockout bet?
