Nelson: "Joshua will beat Usyk 5 times out of 100"

Former world champion Johnny Nelson believes Anthony Joshua will have only a slim chance of winning a fight against heavyweight leader Oleksandr Usyk if they meet for a third time.

"The third version of A.J. that we've seen in the last few fights comes into the ring with faith and self-confidence. Will he keep his faith and self-confidence in a fight with Usyk, knowing that this guy has beaten him twice?

If this A.J. comes into the ring, it could be a different story, but I don't know. Joshua will beat Usyk 5 times out of 100. Usyk has him miscalculated. AJ still has a chance, he's capable of knocking him out, so he has the desire and hope to do it," said Nelson.

Recall that in the first fight Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision of judges, and in the second - by split decision.
