Anthony Joshua has labelled Oleksandr Usyk as a "phenomenal fighter" and backed the Ukrainian to defeat Tyson Fury in this weekend's undisputed heavyweight title fight.
Usyk, though, has established himself as one of the most feared fighters in the world since jumping from cruiserweight to heavyweight after defending his titles against Tony Bellew in 2018 and has since recorded impressive wins over the likes of Derek Chisora, Joshua and Daniel Dubois.ALSO READ: How to order Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk on TNT Sports as price revealed
"Well look I've fought Oleksandr Usyk so I can go only speak on what I have experienced from him," Joshua told talkSPORT earlier this week. "Phenomenal fighter, does everything to a tee and I would say he is going to do a really good job." And in a rematch between the pair 11 months later, Usyk was again victorious as he beat Joshua by split decision in Saudi Arabia.
