Looking forward to seeing a more aggressive Joshua.

Spong is out

 

[Badr Hari]

Just watched the first fight. Damn these guys are fast, I had to go 10 sec backwards and watch it in slow mo several times. The two fastest elite heavyweights in the business. In a long ass time.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

I’m looking forward to this one!
At the time of the fights I’ll be in attendance for Glory 81: Jamal Ben Saddik vs Benjamin Adegbuyi in Düsseldorf, Germany.
That means I won’t be able to watch Usyk - AJ live, but when I get home I’ll watch the full event back for sure, gonna be a good one!

Spong is out

Due to unforeseen travel restrictions, Tyrone Spong is unable to participate in the Usyk - Joshua 2 event.
He’s being replaced by the undefeated James “The Beast” Wilson, who will be taking on Andrew Tabiti now.






James Wilson last fought in March 2019.
Since then, he has mainly spent his time training his 3 sons in martial arts.







Curious to see if he still has his head into boxing

Yeah I'd say they're the two best all-around athletes in the heavyweight division. Usyk has the speed, coordination, agility, stamina, reflexes, and enough punching power to get respect and hurt much bigger fighters. He's also the most mobile guy in the division. AJ has explosive power, speed, coordination, and he's shown that he can be quite light on his feet when he wants to be. For a fighter his size it's impressive (the same reason that Fury gets as much credit as he does).

 

[Shael]

Just re-watched the first fight. Anyone notice the final bell sounded a bit early when AJ was against the ropes in the final moment? Not that it really mattered but I just noticed the last round was a few seconds short, at least according to the dazn timer.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Joshua posted the first fight between him and Usyk on his Youtube-channel a few weeks ago.

The full fight has never been officially published before (outside of the UK), so it's cool that Joshua put this out for the fans.
