Sensational British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua, has anticipated the victor of the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder set of three battle, coming up just next month.
Joshua who faces Aleksandr Usyk this weekend to defend his IBO, IBF and WBA titles at first would not like to pick who he feels will win the battle between his kindred Brit, Fury and American fighter, Wilder however later proposed a potential Wilder success.
This is what he said;
”If I had to, I don’t know. I’m not too bothered. Look, because you’ve asked the question, let’s go with Wilder because he sems obsessed, like he really wants it. He seems really focussed on the task ahead, so, you kjow, a focused man is a dangerous man, and he’s focused.”
AJ further expressed that he doesn’t expect the fight bout to last 12 rounds. This is what he said;
”Wilder might get the decision. Actually, no. It has to be a knockout. One of them will knock the other out.”
The Gypsy King faces a troublesome test in Wilder however Joshua has his own interesting title defence against the expedient south-paw Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk, the main man to hold every one of the four significant cruiserweight belts, is moving forward for his third battle at heavyweight level. During his past battle against Derek Chisora, he showed he could outshine a heavier, harder punching competitor.
Joshua comprehends both he and Fury have intense difficulties to defeat for the sought after Fury-Joshua battle to turn into a reality.
This is what he had to say;
”We both have important fights in our career, both 50-50 fights as well, which is really good for boxing at the end of the day. I’ve got a rematch clause if the worse happens. I’m not too sure of Fury’s situation, so I lose I’m fighting Usyk again.
If I win, I’ll fight either one of them. If Fury wins, I’ll fight Fury. But if Wilder wins, I’ll fight Wilder. If Fury wins and doesn’t take the fight with me because of his hit list, then I’ll fight Wilder.”
In other news, Chelsea star and playmaker, Romelu Lukaku is the most recent Premier League player to address whether taking the knee is having a solid effect in the long fight against racism.
Right ahead of the current mission, Premier League players consented to keep making the motion in the continued fight against racism. Up until this point, Wilfried Zaha and Ivan Toney have quit taking the knee.
Gem Palace winger Zaha marked the act as ”degrading” recently, while Brentford striker Toney said players were being ‘utilized as manikins’ in being approached to take a knee.
Recently, Lukaku’s colleague, Marcos Alonso reported his choice to quit making the pre-match signal. Addressing CNN, the Chelsea striker said: ‘I figure we can take more grounded positions, fundamentally. Indeed, we are taking the knee, however eventually, everyone’s applauding except… now and then after the game, you see another affront.’
Lukaku accepts players should meet up to take on tremendous web-based stages like Twitter and Instagram.
This is what Lukaku had to say;
”The captains of every team, and 4 or 5 players, like the big personalities of every team, should have a meeting the CEOs of Instagram and governments and the FA and the PFA, and we should just sit around the table and have a big meeting about it.
How can we attack it straight away, not only from the men’s game, but also from the women’s game. I think just all of us together and just have a big meeting and have a conference and just talk about stuff that needs to be addressed to protect the players, but also to protect the fans and younger players that want to become professional footballers.
If you want to stop something, you can really do it. We, as players, we can say ”yeah”, we can boycott social media, but I think it’s those companies that have to come and talk to the teams, or to the governments, or to the players themselves and find a way how to stop it because I really think they can.
I have to fight, because I’m not fighting for only myself. I’m fighting for my son, for my future kids, for my brother, for all of the other players and their kids, you know, for everybody.
At the end of the day, football should be an enjoyable game. You cannot kill the game by discrimination. That should never happen. Football is joy, It’s happiness and it shouldn’t be a place where you feel unsafe because of the opinion from some uneducated people.”
