His Excellency Turki Alarusik posted on social media today that he and Anthony Joshua are awaiting the outcome of the undisputed heavyweight championship match between champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which took place on May 18th. Posted.
Alarusik appears to indicate that Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) will face the winner of the Fury-Usyk fight, rather than waiting for his turn to face the winner after both have fought twice. Looks like they're going to let the winner fight.
Economic power and exciting boxing
It would cost Alarusik money to remove the loser of the Fury-Usyk fight on May 18 and allow Joshua to face the winner, but he can afford it.
It's no wonder His Excellency wants Joshua to fight the winner right away. I think there are more fans interested in AJ getting a chance than watching a rematch, which could be a boring match.
Fury and Usyk are both winning finesse boxers. Joshua is much more exciting than either fighter, and it makes sense to pit him against the winner of the first Fury vs. Usyk fight.
Joshua is perhaps the most exciting fighter in the heavyweight division, and his next fight against the winner of the May 18th bout will garner significant interest from fans around the world. Of course, that's assuming Fury wins on May 18th.
Considering AJ has lost to Joshua twice, a third fight between Joshua and Usyk won't be as exciting, and it could be a third loss if he doesn't land the big knockout shot.
waiting for results
“We are waiting for the result of Usyk vs. Fury,” said Turki Alarcik. X About him and Anthony Joshua, who are awaiting the outcome of the May 18th fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and IBF/WBA/WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury will lose to Usyk on May 18th and will make a fuss if he doesn't get an immediate rematch to redeem his reputation, but if His Excellency wants to give Joshua a chance, the Gyspie King has no choice but to sit out. right. and wait his turn.
