Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Anthony Joshua By Unanimous Decision In Thrilling Fight

Anthony Joshua LOSES his world heavyweight title belts to Oleksandr Usyk by unanimous decision after being outfoxed and outboxed by speedy Ukrainian over 12 rounds.

Anthony Joshua takes on Oleksandr Usyk in a monumental heavyweight clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.

The 31-year-old puts both his WBA, WBO and IBF straps and a future undisputed bout with Tyson Fury on the line against the former cruiserweight king and now heavyweight enigma.

Usyk said “the fight went exactly the way i expected it to go. There were a couple of moments when Anthony pushed me hard, but nothing special.

I had no objective to knock him out because my trainers pushed me not to do that. At the beginning I hit him hard and tried to knock him out but my trainers said to stop and just do my job.

The only thing I wanted to do with this fight was to five praise to my Lord, Jesus Christ and say all comes from him.

Today, 12 years ago, my wife said to me yes, today I am double happy.

I have been working so hard since January in preparation for this fight, it took me half a year and I didn’t see my family for so long. I miss my family, I want to go home and I am not thinking about the rematch at the moment.

You didn’t see the best Usyk, I can be much better”.Photo Credit: Getty
