Anthony Joshua Should Forget A Rematch With Usyk And Focus On Fury – Frank Warren

Popular boxer, Frank Warren has come out to say that a rematch vs Oleksandr Usyk is a bad idea.

He recently revealed this to the press, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, it is a terrible idea for defeated Anthony Joshua because he can never beat Oleksandr Usyk.

He added that AJ shouldn’t go anywhere near Usyk and he should focus on fighting Tyson Fury instead.

His words, “He shouldn’t go anywhere near Usyk – he will never beat him.”

“In terms of fighting Tyson Fury, it can happen. Joshua losing has taken away the belts and he is damaged goods now. But people would still buy into that fight. It can happen and it can happen in the UK.”

“But he shouldn’t have a rematch with Usyk. I wouldn’t even think about it if I was him.”

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
