Dillian Whyte says Joshua ‘frightened’ against Usyk: ‘He hit himself’



Anthony Joshua beat himself twice in two bouts against Oleksandr Usyk – that’s longtime rival Dillian Whyte.

While still underdog in the second bout, it looks like linking up with coach Robert Garcia has had a positive effect on Joshua and many pundits feel he has performed better.

The general consensus is that the British boxer needs to be much more aggressive and impose his innate physical advantages, and while many think he has managed to do it to the best of his ability, Whyte thinks nerves will be better than the old champion.

‘The Bodysnatcher’ spoke to JOE about the heavyweight scene before his fight at the end of the month.

“He is [Usyk] beat Joshua twice but I think Joshua beat himself in those two fights.

Nervous and scared and moving wildly in fights. “

Since a potential ‘Battle of Britain’ super fight against Tyson Fury took place in September, ‘AJ’ has been linked with fights against the likes of Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr and Joe Joyce. However, his next most likely opponent seems to be the winner of the Whyte vs Jermaine Franklin in a few weeks.

Whyte came back to beat the undefeated Americans on November 26 at Wembley Arena in The Body Snatcher’s first match since being defeated by Tyson Fury in a world championship bout at Wembley Stadium. in April.

Joshua and Whyte have a history dating back to their amateur days. The Brixton man overcame and defeated AJ before the Olympic gold medalist got his revenge in the professional category, stopping Whyte at the O2 Arena in December 2015 to claim the British heavyweight title.
