Joshua ready for Usyk rematch

LONDON. — Anthony Joshua already looks ripped and fully prepared for his world heavyweight boxing rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, tentatively planned for April 2022.

The Brit relinquished his WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight titles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September as he failed to get to grips with the former cruiserweight king.

Usyk, a fellow Olympic Gold medallist, was too elusive and too sharp for Joshua, who failed to make his vastly superior physical advantages count.

Despite being three inches taller, nearly 20 pounds heavier and possessing a four inch reach advantage, Joshua was left flummoxed and almost finished in the capital.

During an interview with iFL TV in the aftermath of the fight, Joshua said he wanted to bring ”war” and ”murder” to the rematch with the Ukrainian southpaw.  It seems as though the 31-year-old is determined to act on this by heading into his training camp for the fight early, looking ripped and ready in a series of posts on social media. — talkSPORT.
