Promoter of Anthony Joshua comments on Oleksandr Usyk’s size
Matchroom Boxing boss, Eddie Hearn, is not only a promoter, he is as popular as his entourage of boxers. He is a marketing genius and is always caught by the media in big fighting events and press conferences. The promoter was speaking to Boxing Social, and he was asked about Usyk’s new physique.
Hearn replied, “I expect him [Usyk] to try and walk AJ down. I think this fight will be over in six rounds. It’s going to be a war. I don’t think Usyk wants to be walked down by AJ, to box off the back foot against an aggressive Anthony Joshua. I expect him to be aggressive, and I think he’s going to get knocked out.”
