Joshua tries to land an uppercut as Usyk evades

Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk might have been bonded together for eternity. The two just delivered on the greatest two fight series in recent boxing history. Though AJ fell short in his second attempt, the improvements and adjustments he made definitely led to to this being a very competitive fight until the very last rounds.

Both fighters walked out holding each other in higher regard than they did when they entered Saudi. The fight itself was very entertaining from the starting bell itself and managed to deliver on all expectations and beyond.

With his victory, Usyk now holds the right to challenge Tyson Fury for the only heavyweight belt he currently doesn’t hold, the WBC belt. As Fury vacated his Ring Magazine title earlier this week, it now belongs to Usyk after his victory over Joshua.
