Holyfield commented on the decision of the judges in the Usyk-Joshua rematch

Former undisputed world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield believes that the judges fairly gave the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in the heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk victory in a rematch with Anthony Joshua.

“Joshua can continue to fight after this if he wants to. For this you need attitude. Usyk impressed me. The little guy showed great courage. Most small fighters adapt to being pressed by opponents, so they work a lot harder. They understand that they need to work much harder. As Anthony Joshua said, he is used to knocking out opponents.

My opinion on the judge's note in favor of Joshua? Usyk won. Everyone has their own opinion. I can't say what you like. It is you who tell me what you like. You may think otherwise, but the decision was in favor of Usyk, and he is happy. It was a tough fight for him,” Holyfield said in an interview with YouTube channel BehindTheGloves.

Recall that on the night of August 21, Usyk defeated Joshua in a rematch by a split decision of the judges (113-115, 115-113, 116-112).
