OLEKSANDR USYK has arrived in London to face Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight match.
The undisputed cruiserweight king of old will face AJ for the unified title of heavyweight on Saturday night before a sell-out crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Anthony Joshua will be challenged by Oleksandr Usyk for the unified heavyweight title on Saturday
Usyk (34), has been preparing for his first attempt at heavyweight gold in Ukraine. He left Monday morning aboard a private plane.
The Cat posted photos of himself and his crew about to board a private plane to Instagram this morning.
For the trip, his entourage wore fluorescent turquoise tracksuits.
The caption that accompanied the post was "#SpaceX #Jaxet @UsykJoshua."
Joshua will face Usyk, 31. This will be Usyk’s third appearance in the heavyweight division. He gatecrashed it in October 2019.
The Olympic gold medallist is less concerned about his son's first day at school than his quest to be a two-division champion.
BETTING SPECIAL - GET JOSHUA TO WIN IN ROUNDS 1-6 AT 60/1 OR ANYTIME AT 25/1SunSport was informed by The Cat that she doesn't think about Anthony Joshua at the moment.
"I don’t think about what he’ll do, what he’ll use, or how he’ll box.
"I still have some time to finish my training camp, so I may think about it later.
"Right now, I am thinking more about how my son feels at school. He just started the first grade and really didn't want to do it.
He said, "I don't want go to school dad. "I am bored at school, and you are not there."
"But, everything is fine now. He seems to have calmed down.
"So, I probably think more about this than what Anthony Joshua will do with the ring."
In his last fight last November, Usyk won unanimously over Derek Chisora. However, he was not impressed by his performance.
The slick southpaw thinks Joshua's team is in for a shock if they expect a win from his last outing.
He stated, "I am very thankful to all those who support me and everything else, but they expect too many from athletes.
"Some people don't understand the importance of the ring and how difficult or easy it is.
"People have an image they create.
"I boxed Derek 12 rounds, but he is a very tough guy to beat.
"He has been 22 rounds with Tyson Fury in his fights with him, if you take a look at them."
