Recognizing Usyk's unique and enigmatic style, Joshua highlights the challenges in deciphering his strategy, which has eluded even top-tier boxers like himself.


With Usyk's mastery of the ring and his ability to navigate complex situations, Joshua foresees him securing the victory and becoming the undisputed champion, citing Usyk's experience and ring craft as decisive factors in the upcoming bout.
