Krassyuk: "They Could Determine Who Is the Strongest Loser"

Promoter of the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and CBDO of Ready To Fight, Alexander Krassyuk, commented on the possibility of a match between WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) before a rematch with the Ukrainian.

"It's not a topic for discussion because Tyson won't be able to win. However, Fury's defeat doesn't cancel the potential matchup between AJ and the Gypsy King, because they can determine who is the strongest loser," said Krasyyuk. The fight for the absolute world heavyweight championship between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The agreement between the fighters includes a rematch provision. Anthony Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou (0-2) in the second round on March 8.
