IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has uncovered his expectation to battle Oleksandr Usyk in 2020.
Usyk, who brought together the whole cruiserweight division in 2020, is the WBO’s obligatory challenger to Joshua.
Simultaneously, Kubrat Pulev is the IBF’s obligatory challenger to Joshua’s title.
Right now, both authorizing associations have requested Joshua to meet his commitment.
In any case, he can’t confront the two fighters without a moment’s delay.
Pulev is right now the most loved to land Joshua in the coming months, with Usyk conceivably to follow in the fall.
Joshua anticipates the situation of confronting Usyk in the ring.
“A very credible opponent. When I’m trying to build my record, I want opponents like Usyk to say that I’ve defeated them. He uses his feet very well, and positions his hands well. You can’t hit him because his feet move so well. If you do manage to catch him, (the punches) are brushing off the gloves,” Joshua told Sky Sports.
“What I’d do, as I have done already, is study him – from his footwork, his hand positioning, to his openings. Then I’d go to people who have faced him and find out information on how to defeat him.
“Usyk is a great cruiserweight, the undisputed cruiserweight champion, who has decided to move up to heavyweight to mix it with the big boys. He’s still exploring the division but he wants a piece of the big pie – he’s more than welcome to try to take this out of my hands.”
While Joshua is taking on Pulev, Usyk could confront Derek Chisora. Usyk made his heavyweight debut a year ago with a stoppage time prevail upon late substitution, Chazz Withwerspoon.
Both Usyk and Joshua had the option to arrive at Olympic gold in their individual divisions in the 2012 games.
