Anthony Joshua Denies He Will Have To Retire If He Loses To Oleksandr Usyk Boxing

Joshua faces Usyk with the intention of reclaiming the WBA, IBF and WBO titles the Ukrainian took from him via a unanimous points decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 11 months ago. Joshua was comprehensively beaten by an opponent of great ability and resilience in what was only his third fight at heavyweight after an era of dominance at cruiserweight, and few are predicting a different result when the pair meet again this weekend. Some in the sport, including former world champions Carl Froch and Kell Brook, have suggested that defeat is not only possible for Joshua, but would leave him with few options in a professional career that began with his Olympic gold medal London almost exactly. 10 YEARS ago. The much talked about all-British relationship with Tyson Fury would almost certainly remain out of reach, in part because Fury is once again in retirement. If Fury were to return, he would likely face Usyk in a sensational unification battle. Joshua strongly believes he can avoid a third defeat in his 27 fights, the other being a shock stoppage by Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019, and is instead aiming to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, having previously regained his titles with a victory in his rematch with Ruiz Jr in Riyadh six months after their original fight. On his return to Saudi Arabia, the 32-year-old also addressed the idea that a second loss to Usyk would be a mortal blow to his future prospects, insisting it is unfair however he calls it. “It’s up to me at the end of the day, it’s not up to anyone else what I do with my career,” Joshua said. “I don’t need to do that. Why do I do it? It’s because it’s all I know. Oleksandr Usyk sings Ukrainian resistance song after intense Anthony Joshua clash – video “This is also the 12th consecutive world title fight. I have been in back to back world title fights 12 times. It happens – if you fight world-class people, you meet world-class people. I don’t fight people who are inferior.” It’s a sentiment shared by Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, who called Usyk, who is fighting here having served in the Ukrainian army as part of the country’s defense against invading Russia, a “genius” and insisted he should taken into account if he is a winner again at the weekend. Meanwhile, Amnesty International has denied the inclusion of the first women’s fight to be held in Saudi Arabia, as part of the undercard means the event is not part of the country’s sports-washing campaign. British-Somali model and activist Ramla Ali will make history when she takes on Crystal Garcia Nova at the Abdullah Sports City Arena and has defended her decision to do so despite restrictions on women’s freedoms and rights in Saudi Arabia. “I feel that the way the media portrays Saudi Arabia is not entirely accurate,” he said. “What I have seen here is that women are free to do whatever they want and train alongside men if they want. They don’t have to wear hijab if they don’t want to. And the fact that they’re pushing women’s sports here and have allowed two girls to compete here for the first time shows how progressive the country is becoming and I’m all for it.” In a statement, Amnesty International wished Ali well but refused to back down from its criticism of any professional fight held in Saudi Arabia, given its human rights record. The organization confirmed its position that the kingdom’s increased involvement in sport – which includes hosting a Formula One grand prix, the new LIV golf range and the takeover of Newcastle United – are part of a cover-up. “Away from the glitz and spectacle of the boxing ring, the reality for women in Saudi Arabia is that they face serious discrimination in marriage, divorce, inheritance and child custody,” said Amnesty’s head of priority campaigns, Felix Jakens. “In recent years, Saudi women who have been brave enough to call for reforms in the country have been imprisoned, tortured and completely silenced. “We wish Ramla Ali well, but this fight is even more sordid as Saudi Arabia once again tries to distract from its appalling human rights record.”
