Usyk Reaches Out To Joshua: A Trilogy On The Horizon?

Oleksandr Usyk says he is open to a third fight with Anthony Joshua if both win their next fights.

AJ hasn’t said much about wanting a third fight with Usyk, and you can’t blame him. It would be a good idea for Joshua to turn down Usyk’s offer because he doesn’t need that fight.

After all, it is clear that the Ukrainian talent has his number and he would beat Joshua no matter how many times they fight.

No one can forget how AJ went mental after the second fight, grabbing Usyk’s belts after the contest and throwing them out of the ring.

Joshua then took the microphone and spouted nonsense that was painful to listen to and made no sense. If there was any doubt Joshua was talking vegetable caseit was deleted at that time.

Given that memorable episode, bringing Joshua back up front to face Usyk again is not a good idea. Joshua is better off fighting at the level that his assistant promoter, Eddie Hearn, has been fighting him for the past two years.

Joshua’s Moment of Truth

Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) has already been beaten twice by Usyk, and it would be too much of a risk for him to take that fight before facing Tyson Fury in the heavyweight title bout that the Honorable Turki Alalshikh is offering.

Usyk will face former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a rematch on December 21 in Riyadh. He already defeated Fury via a twelve-round split decision earlier this year on May 18 and was arguably knocked out in the ninth round.

Assuming we don’t get another rare situation where Fury is saved from a takedown by Usyk, Oleksandr’s second win is guaranteed. Fury looks shot at this point in his career, and apparently was never as good as the naysayers thought.

Usyk’s Act of Sportsmanship

WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) says Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) allowed him to become famous, so he feels he owes him for his generosity. So, he’s going to give AJ a trilogy if he wants it.

“I don’t want to repeat myself, but when we beat Tyson Fury for the second time and when Anthony Joshua beat Daniel Dubois, they will definitely want a third fight,” Oleksandr Usyk told Mail Sport about being. He is open for a trilogy fight against Anthony Joshua if the two fighters win their next matches.

AJ will face IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois on September 14 in London next month. Although fans and pundits are predicting that Joshua, 34, will win, there is a good chance that he won’t.

“I have no right to deny Anthony a third fight because he has given me two amazing fights. Anthony helped me become very famous in the world, and if it happens, I’m ready for the third fight.”

Joshua’s False Resurrection

If this trilogy match happens, it will give Joshua’s fans and promoter, Eddie Hearn, the opportunity to show if he is promoting his trainer, Ben Davison, in his corner or if it was just smoke and mirrors because he was with soft opponents.

Joshua doesn’t look like he’s improved at all. What has changed is the level of opposition he has faced. Hearn has matched Joshua with four straight second division fights without the talent to build on his own after two losses against Usyk, but he hasn’t improved. He is just compared to a formidable opponent to bring him back mentally or deceive the public.

After the way Usyk schooled him in the second fight, leaving him mentally deranged in the ring, it’s a bad idea to face him a third time. A third loss to Usyk could slow down his cash flow.
