ANTHONY JOSHUA will stop Oleksandr Usyk from becoming a world champion in two divisions with 'a jab.
The Watford Warrior will be defending his unified heavyweight titles on September 25 against the undefeated Ukrainian at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Next month, Anthony Joshua will defend his unified Heavyweight titles against Oleksandr Uzyk
AJ will be significantly larger and more reach than the undisputed cruiserweight king. David Haye believes that AJ won't have the power to challenge his fellow Olympian.
Sky Sports spoke to the former WBA heavyweight champion, saying: "I think his styling might be very successful if AJ were 6'2" and fourteenst.
But AJ isn’t. AJ stands 6'6" and is an incredible specimen. He's also one of the greatest athletes in the heavyweight division.
"That's a knockout loss for Usyk.
"If Usyk were the future heavyweight division, and he's going be good enough to defeat AJ, he should at least have stopped Derek Chisora. Or won by a landslide.
He didn't. He couldn't keep the heavier man away from him. He didn't possess the firepower.
"I don't see AJ ever having any problems.
"I'll tell ya exactly what punch it is - a jab right hand, then straight jab again.
"The jab will knock Usyk out. With a jab, he will knock Usyk out."
Haye believes Usyk isn't strong enough at heavyweight to stop Joshua.
Haye, 40, added that Haye "just doesn't have enough firepower."
"I don't believe AJ will lose this fight. He is a devastating fighter, and he does it really quickly.
"He makes the exact same statement that Tyson Fury made about Deontay Wilder. He just looks absolutely devastating."
"Once he does that, it will establish that undisputed fight. But Fury must then take care of his business with Wilder.
"The winner of this, obviously, there's only one fight left for them to win."
Usyk is now 2-0 since his October 2019 debut as a heavyweight and is 'confident' that he will cause a major upset in his Tottenham tussle against AJ.
Alexander Krassyuk (his promoter) told MyBettingSites that the rematch was not an obligation in the mandatory fight.
"But, we accepted the fair conditions to agree to it.
"Oleksandr is confident about his victory over AJ, and how he will defeat him.
"So, he agreed to the second bout, as his mentality will be more favorable after he wins in the first.
After becoming the undisputed champion, Oleksandr defended himself against Tony Bellew.
"Cruiserweight was the only thing to prove, and it would be impossible to stay there.
Alex is motivated to get up at 5am every morning and work as hard as possible because he has a goal.
"After only two heavyweight bouts, Usyk signed the agreement for a multi-belt showdown with the king heavyweights."
