Deontay Wilder Makes Huge Prediction As Anthony Joshua Set for 2nd Blockbuster Clash With Oleksandr Usyk

• Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 will see both heavyweight boxers face off again as they will clash in Saudi Arabia on August 20
• Usyk defeated the British boxer last year and according to Deontay Wilder, Joshua would be beaten yet again
• Joshua had avenged his loss to Andy Ruiz by defeating the American in their rematch, but Wilder does not see that happening with Usyk

Boxing heavyweight Deontay Wilder has made a huge prediction ahead of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2, admitting it will be tough.

Ukrainian sensation Usyk defeated AJ after 12 convincing rounds in September 2021, but a rematch is slated for August 20 and the clash is scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia.

Recall that Joshua avenged his loss to Andy Ruiz in Riyadh in 2019, but Wilder has stated that such will not reoccur when the British boxer takes on Usyk again, SunSport reports.

He said on the phone to ESNews:

“I’m going with Usyk here, man.

“I’m going with Usyk. I think a lot of people are. It’s boxing at the end of the day, so we’ll see, but I think it’s Usyk.”

Since his loss to Tyson Fury in the trilogy bout back in October 2011, the 36-year-old Wilder is yet to fight.

On the other hand, Joshua hopes to set up an undisputed super-fight with Fury, by winning back the unified belts Usyk, 35, snatched off him.

He said:

“I just want to say god is good, all the time, even through tough times. I’d like to thank everyone for coming out today.

"Definitely the hunger is still there. As I always said from the get-go, stay hungry. Just keep the motivation high.”
