Jeff Mayweather: 'After the fight with Usyk, I began to think differently about Joshua'

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 16, 2023, 11:50 a.m.

American coach Jeff Mayweather in the release of the YouTube channel The Mayweather Channel recalled the fights of the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) against the former holder of these titles Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs).

“After the fight with Usyk, I began to think differently about Joshua as a fighter. Alexander is smaller, but he is better than Joshua as a boxer. But Anthony still tried to outbox him - I didn't see the point in that.
Joshua clearly had problems with boxing IQ. I don't know if they told him in the corner to fight like that. You can't outsmart a guy half your size," Mayweather said.

Recall that Usyk defeated Joshua in September 2021 and August 2022.
