Anthony Joshua Sends Tough Message to Oleksandr Usyk Ahead of Their Big Fight

Nigerian and British boxer Anthony Joshua has vowed that he won't be showing his opponent Oleksandr Usyk any mercy when they meet again on Saturday, 20 August, in a fight that is expected to be challenging.

Joshua admitted that last September when he lost, the mindset was to outbox his opponent, whoever it was, and now, he is fully focused on smashing.

The expectation of many Nigerians was that Anthony Joshua would be able to beat Usyk, but they were all disappointing with how he was beaten.

According to the reports on Sky Sports and Punch, Anthony Joshua stated clearly that his main focus now going forward is to smash the face of any opponent.
