JUST IN: Usyk Arrives In UK For Fight With Anthony Joshua

Usyk has arrived in the UK to fight with Anthony Joshua over the weekend.

 

 

Newsonline reports that Oleksandr Usyk remained secretive about his preparation for the Anthony Joshua fight after arriving for his world title clash with Britain’s heavyweight star.

 

The Ukrainian, who was the undisputed cruiserweight champion, will attempt to rip away Joshua’s WBA, IBF and WBO belts when they share the ring this Saturday.

 

After moving up a division, Usyk has packed on more muscle, but he did not reveal any details about his physical condition.

 

“It was a great camp, thank you for asking,” Usyk told Sky Sports News.

When asked what form and shape he was in, the 34-year-old joked, “The form you’re going to see, because I’m not wearing it now.”

Asked if he would be heavier for the Joshua fight, Usyk replied, “Can’t you see it now?”

He then issued a message to the unified champion, saying: “Anthony, hello. I’m here.”

Joshua was set to face WBC champion Tyson Fury in an undisputed world title fight this summer before plans fell apart.

“I’ve got another challenger who’s good, just as good,” said Joshua.

“I have to be serious about him now.

“He will definitely step up, he will definitely take the fight. That’s what I need – people that are serious.”
