Oleksandr Usyk defended his world heavyweight boxing title by defeating Anthony Joshua on points again. After winning the fight, he challenged Tyson Fury in the ring.
Usyk defended his championship belts
Thepredictions of boxing legends were fulfilled. Saturday night in Saudi Arabia was once again dominated by Ukraine’s Usyk, as he outpointed his British rival Joshua after a 12-round battle. In doing so, he defended the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight championship belts.
Even the height and weight superiority did not bring fruit to the British talent. His brilliant career took another blow and Joshua will have to start his boxing life for the third time. It is the Ukrainian hero Usyk who remains undefeated.
Now it was a slightly more even match, at least in the first six rounds. The British boxer was more careful with the Ukrainian’s jabs this time. He was trying to take the champion’s breath away with hard punches on the bottom.
However, Usyk’s superb movement, amazing stamina stemming from breathless preparation and a murderous desire to win not only for himself but for the entire Ukrainian people suffering in the war with Russia were again beyond the British talent.
After another heroic performance, he challenged Tyson Fury
After another heroic performance, Tyson called out one name. “I’m sure Tyson Fury hasn’t retired yet, I’m sure he wants to fight me,” the WBC ruler challenged in a fight to unify all the heavyweight titles , according to The Sun.
“I want to fight him and if I don’t fight Tyson Fury, I won’t fight him at all,” the 35-year-old Usyk made clear. He had to be persuaded to fight by President Zelensky as the boxer expressed his desire to stay in Ukraine and help his people.
“I want to give this victory to my country, to the Ukrainian army and to all the people who defend the country,” he said at the end of his emotional speech to the overwhelming support of the roaring crowd.
Joshua threw the belts out of the ring and then added a confused speech
While Usyk burst into tears after the verdict was announced, Anthony Joshua reacted violently by throwing two belts out of the ring and leaving the ring with angry gestures. The booing crowd gave him an appropriate reaction to the athlete’s behavior.
The Brit then returned to the ring and took the microphone. “If you knew my story, you would understand the passion,” he explained his stunt. “I went to jail, got bail and started training, I wanted to be able to fight,” he described his story.
“This guy beat me today, maybe I could have put more into it, but it shows the level of sacrifice I put into it,” he said in confusion. “Give him the applause he deserves, ” he told the cheering crowd.
“I’m not just a 12-round fighter, I’m a new prototype heavyweight, ” he said, naming boxing legends such as Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano. “I’m a heavyweight, it’s difficult for me, ” he concluded in a speech condemned by the British media.
