Staying in his country during this full month shelling is Patriotism already cool

100% respect for Usyk.

He should travel as even the Great Putin has agreed he wants only eastern Ukraine (Stalemate) after the lashing he received in this war grin

Oleksandr Usyk has confirmed he will fight Anthony Joshua in a rematch and will leave Ukraine in order to start preparing for the fight.

The rematch had been thrown into doubt last month as Usyk returned to his homeland in order to lend his services to the fight against the Russian invasion.

However, Usyk has now announced his intention to fulfil the rematch clause in his contract following their first meeting back in September, which he won via unanimous decision.

Plans are now being put in place to officially announce a rematch between Usyk and Joshua, with hopes for a bout in June.

Usyk has reportedly been granted leave in order to depart Ukraine, having returned to the country to join the Kyiv Territorial Defence force and fight the Russian invasion.

His return to Ukraine had thrown the original plans for a rematch into doubt, with a date in May having previously been drawn up for the pair to meet.

Joshua even started shortlisting potential alternative opponents in order to return to the ring following the second defeat of his professional career.

The British fighter is instead now set to be given the chance to reclaim his world title belts from Usyk later this year, after surrendering the IBF, WBO and WBA super world titles in the September defeat.

There is also potential for the winner of the Usyk vs Joshua rematch to seek a bout to unify the heavyweight division against either Tyson Fury or Dillian Whyte.

Fury and Whyte will fight for the WBC and The Ring titles in London on April 23, with Fury currently holding the belts, having retained it in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder in October last year.

The British fighter is instead now set to be given the chance to reclaim his world title belts from Usyk later this year, after surrendering the IBF, WBO and WBA super world titles in the September defeat.

I hope Anthony Joshua prepares himself very well to win the coming re-match this time around.

Joshua should train harder o.
The same Usyk he fought last year is not the same he will fight because he is fighting against someone coming out of a warzone that is not just a boxer but a warrior and possibly a killer that might have killed several invading Russians in his homeland.

War can turn someone to a psychopath whereby Usyk will be seeing Putin throwing punches on the Ring whereas it is Anthony Joshua throwing the punches. shocked

Pls send this to AJ on his social media handle. Else, na TKO.

I think he wants to use the bout as a platform to make a statement to the World.
After beating AJ, he'd give him the belts and now address Putin to give up his "laurels" and show sportsmanship.
Re: Ukraine's Usyk Confirms He's Leaving His Country To Prepare For Joshua Rematch by petermichaels(m): 7:52pm On Mar 26, 2022
My candid advice is Joshua should not rush this guy to a rematch oo.
He will use the anger of the on going event in his country and seriously give him a second beating.
He should allow the guy face what is before him.
I have advised him oo. Nairaland is my witness

Lol, I stopped reading Nairaland comments on topics of particular interest to me due to the fact that you have many novices talking like pros on stuff they have absolutely no idea about.

You think it's about being beaten once, how about having a clean record that won't hurt your fighting confidence?

AJ's number has been figured out; declining stamina and agility. Usyk outclassed him on technical points and will likely do it again except AJ makes some radical changes.

It seems this guy has figured out Joshua's weakness and ready to dethrone him. Usyk claims he is fighting for glory and not the money so Joshua has to be wary of him by preparing well ahead for this rematch.

It was incredible and ridiculous for Joshua to think about taking a step aside fee for Usyk and Tyson Fury to fight for the undisputed heavy weight championship.

Let us see how Joshua improves on his stamina, stiffness, head movement and punch/jab accuracy.
I can only wish Joshua well in the rematch.

When your country offers you the best as a citizen, their is no way you won't be loyal to your country

The only mistake Anthony Joshua made in his career was when he started mingling with some people he shouldn't have been found with

Now, it's like he has learnt his lessons

I wish both of them luck

Example of those people please. Pink hair?
