Anthony Joshua Predicts Oleksandr Usyk Will Triumph Over Tyson Fury: A “Class Operator” Set to Shine.

Anthony Joshua has made a bold prediction about the highly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, confidently asserting that Usyk will prove to be too much for Fury when they clash later this year. Joshua, who has faced Usyk twice and experienced firsthand the Ukrainian’s formidable skills, labels Usyk a “class operator” and believes he will secure victory in their upcoming bout.

Joshua’s encounters with Usyk have been both challenging and revealing. In their first fight in 2021, Joshua lost unanimously, and their second bout in 2022 ended in a split decision defeat for the Brit. These experiences have given Joshua unique insight into Usyk’s strengths and the difficulty of overcoming him.

Since these setbacks, Joshua has embarked on a remarkable comeback journey, securing four consecutive victories, including a sensational knockout win over Francis Ngannou earlier this year. Joshua’s resurgence has set the stage for a potential world title clash against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21, with the prospect of becoming a three-time world champion.

Should Joshua defeat Dubois, he is likely to face the winner of the Usyk vs. Fury rematch. Boxing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the possibility of Joshua setting up an all-British showdown against Fury. However, Joshua believes Usyk’s superior skills will give him the edge in their next contest.

“I think it’s going to be a tough fight early on and then I feel like Usyk will edge it again,” Joshua told Queensberry Promotions. “He’s a class operator and I feel like Usyk’s one of the best out there. That’s why I think he’ll win.”

Usyk, who became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 after defeating Fury, has faced his own share of controversy. Fury, who felt he won the fight, argues that he secured the majority of the rounds despite the judges’ scorecards. “I believe I won that fight,” Fury said. “I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority of them, and I believe it was one of those what-can-you-do, one of them… decisions in boxing. But make no mistake, I won that fight, in my opinion, and I’ll be back.”

As Joshua prepares for a significant challenge against Daniel Dubois, a fighter who has garnered respect with victories over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, he remains confident in his abilities. Dubois, who has dubbed himself a “king slayer,” represents a formidable opponent, but Joshua’s self-belief remains unwavering.

“I walk as a king, I have to walk that way because everyone should in this life,” Joshua said. “You should always be confident. Why not? In terms of where he puts me, I’m not worried about it… all that matters is where I put myself.”

With Anthony Joshua’s prediction adding further intrigue to the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch, the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcome of these high-stakes battles. As Joshua aims to cement his legacy with a victory over Dubois and potentially face the winner of the Usyk-Fury fight, fans can look forward to a thrilling end to the year in boxing.
