Take a look at the interview:
Oleksandr Usyk is currently in the UK selecting locations for his rematch against Anthony Joshua. ‘The Cat’ will defend his Heavyweight Titles for the first time against ‘AJ’. The Brit is out seeking to avenge his loss against Usyk.
In their first fight, the Ukrainian put on a boxing masterclass and outboxed the Brit for twelve rounds straight. Joshua will look to turn the tables this time around.
