Anthony Joshua, a former unified heavyweight champion, is no stranger to facing Oleksandr Usyk in the ring. Having lost his titles to the skillful Ukrainian in 2021 and then in a rematch in 2022, Joshua has firsthand experience of Usyk’s abilities. As Joshua prepares for a high profile bout with UFC heavyweight champion turned boxer Francis Ngannou, he has publicly stated his prediction for the upcoming fight between Usyk and WBC heavyweight kingpin Tyson Fury.

In an interview with iFLTV, Joshua confidently stated, “I think Usyk will win.” Despite never having faced Fury himself, Joshua believes Usyk will come out victorious in the matchup. This prediction is interesting, given the ongoing anticipation in the fight world for a potential showdown between Joshua and Fury. Joshua openly admitted that he would prefer Fury to win for selfish reasons, as it would lead to a bigger fight down the line. However, his prediction for Usyk shows his respect for the Ukrainian boxer’s skills in the ring.

While Joshua is making predictions for the Usyk vs Fury fight, he also has a considerable challenge of his own to face in the form of Francis Ngannou. Scheduled to fight Ngannou on Friday (American time), Joshua is expected to come out on top. However, Ngannou’s boxing debut, where he put Fury on the mat, has generated some buzz around the fight.

Despite Ngannou’s power, determination, and underrated skill, Joshua remains relaxed and self-composed leading up to the fight. In his iFLTV interview, Joshua exuded confidence in his abilities, a crucial factor for success in any professional fight. Whether facing a champion from the world of boxing or a champion transitioning from another sport, Joshua understands the importance of self-belief in achieving victory.

Anthony Joshua’s predictions for the Usyk vs Fury fight and his own bout against Ngannou highlight the intricacies of the boxing world. While Joshua may have faced defeats at the hands of Usyk, his confidence and determination remain unwavering as he continues to navigate the competitive landscape of heavyweight boxing. Only time will tell if his predictions come true and if he can emerge victorious in his upcoming match against Ngannou.
