Usyk arrive UK for bout with AJ

Oleksandr Usyk has landed in the UK ahead of his championship bout with boxing champion, Anthony Joshua.

The Ukrainian, who was the undisputed cruiserweight champion, fights with the Nigerian-British to strip him of his WBA, IBF and WBO belts when they fight in Saturday.

Usyk during an interview, however, kept mute on his preparation plan to beat Joshua to his title.

He, however, sent a subtle message to Anthony Joshua. He said “Anthony, hello. I’m here.”

When asked what form and shape he was in, the 34-year-old joked: “The form you’re going to see, because I’m not wearing it now.”

Asked if he would be heavier for the Joshua fight, Usyk replied: “Can’t you see it now?”

Prior to his scheduled fight with Anthony Joshua, the WBC champion was to face Tyson Fury in an undisputed world title fight this summer before plans fell apart.

Joshua while commenting about his fight with Usyk, however, said Usyk is a high-caliber opponent.

“I’ve got another challenger who’s good, just as good,” said Joshua.

“I have to be serious about him now.

“He will definitely step up, he will definitely take the fight. That’s what I need – people that are serious.”
