Oleksandr Usyk was a brilliant cruiserweight with excellent skills and can use his movement and southpaw style to cause problems for Joshua. I think he probably needs more experience at heavyweight.

AJโs improving with his feet, Usykโs got good feet as well. Itโs who can hold their nerve when they go into a shoot out. I do think itโll be a very technical fight and itโll be mentally draining. For Usyk to win heโs got to keep Joshua on his toes, on his feet, moving, close the distance and when he gets up close donโt let AJ hold him.

Commonwealth Games winner
Itโs going to be tough with the size difference, Usyk is not a natural heavyweight therefore he will have to rely on speed, movement and being very elusive to make Joshua miss and tire.

He has to tread a very fine line. He has to hit and move but he canโt win the fight just doing that. At times heโll also have to stop moving, set his feet and hit Joshua hard. Too much, or not enough, of either one and heโll lose.
