Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk Match Events & How it Unfolded?

Through the first four rounds, it was a tactical contest with neither man able to gain a definite advantage. Usyk and Joshua began to let go of control in the fifth round, with Joshua emphasizing the body and Usyk concentrating upstairs. In the ninth round, Joshua appeared to be on the approach of winning the match. With one monster punch upstairs after another, the former two-time and three-belt heavyweight champion had Usyk on the ropes and almost out of his feet.

Joshua’s strategy appeared to be working rather well throughout the first nine rounds; at one point, he even came close to knocking Usyk to the ground. He multiplied the number of body shots and tried to approach the most difficult battle of his career more strategically. Despite this, Joshua was exhausted by Round 10 and Usyk used his finest maneuver for the final three rounds. Usyk’s superb performance in the closing rounds enabled him to win the match via split decision and successfully retain his titles.

Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk Post-match Reactions and Next Fight for Usyk

Unbeaten Tyson Fury, who had previously given up boxing after defeating Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April, has since changed his mind again. Fury made an expletive-filled rant to reassure his followers that he will return to the ring, perhaps to face Ukrainian Olek Usyk, after recently giving up the Ring magazine belt and watching the Joshua vs. Usyk bout. This is a fortunate turn of events in light of Oleksander Usyk’s post-fight interview declaration that he would only box again if it was against Fury.
