Usyk's Grimace
Oleksandr Usyk was seen grimacing as he watched Anthony Joshua's brutal knockout of Francis Ngannou. Joshua floored Ngannou three times in two rounds, with a final ruthless right hand finishing the job.
Refusal to Watch
Although Usyk refused to watch after AJ's second knockdown, DAZN played back the fight for him. His reaction to Ngannou hitting the deck for the second time was one of shock, prompting him to close the laptop and miss the final moment.
Upcoming Bouts
Usyk, 36, is set to return on May 18 in the heavyweight division's first four-belt unification bout against Fury, 35. The pair are contracted to rematch right after, but Joshua, 34, hopes to secure a title shot and is ready for the challenge.
Joshua's Response
Joshua, who has lost to Usyk twice, remains open to fighting either Fury or Usyk. He stated, "I'm only a phone call away, even better, I'm only a tweet away. You can tweet me and we can make the deal, so it will happen."
Fighting Man
Joshua expressed his willingness to fight Fury in his back garden, emphasizing his dedication to delivering for the fans. He stated, "Wherever, whenever, however – it doesn't matter. As long as we deliver for the fans, that's the main thing."
