Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) in an interview with The Stomping Ground commented on the recent words of Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), who said that he is confident of winning a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), in which he just has to knock out the Ukrainian.

"Everyone talks about Usyk: 'I just have to do it ... I'm bigger, I need to use my size." But Fury spent most of the fight on defense. Usyk is a very good boxer. Show him some respect!" - Joshua, who himself lost twice to the Ukrainian champion, addressed Fury.

The rematch between Usyk and Fury should take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At stake in the fight will be only three heavyweight championship belts - WBA, WBO and WBC.
