Frank Warren has cautioned Anthony Joshua not to go in for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on the grounds that he won’t ever beat him.
Warren, who also promotes WBC champion Tyson Fury, made the admonition while remarking the proposed confrontation for the undisputed heavyweight title between Anthony Joshua and the Gypsy King.
Warren further added that there’s still hope for the two boxers to battle notwithstanding Joshua losing his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO world titles to Oleksandr Usyk.
Concerning Joshua’s approaching move to trigger his authoritative right to a rematch with Usyk, probably in February or March in the UK, Warren trust it would be a tremendous mix-up.
Warren trusts Fury would have ‘annihilated’ Joshua in the primary portion of the battle had he been in the contradicting corner.
This is what Warren said in an interview with Sportsmail;
”He shouldn’t go anywhere near Usyk, he will never beat him. In terms of fighting Tyson Fury, it can happen. Joshua losing has taken away the belts and he is damaged good now. But people would still but into that fight. It can happen and it can happen in tyhe UK.
But he shouldn’t have a rematch with Usyk. I wouldn’t even think about it if I was him.
He further added; I though Joshua was poor. Take nothing away from Usyk, who was brilliant, but Joshua was poor. He didn’t fancy it at all. What was he even doing on the ring walk? He was shaking hands with people in the crowd. You’re meant to be on a mission. When he was in the ring he looked gun shy.
Tyson Fury would have destroyed him inside 3 or 4 rounds. Tyson has great footwork, a great chin and his hands are as fast as Usyk’s and he is bigger, he would have destroyed Joshua.”
