Anthony Joshua Warned Not To Fight Usyk Again

Anthony Joshua has been told by boxing promoter Frank Warren not to fight Oleksander Usyk again.

Usyk dethroned Joshua as IBF, WBO, and IBO world heavyweight champion on Saturday night.

Warren feels Joshua is “damaged goods” as a result of his loss, but that a rematch with Tyson Fury is still a possibility.

Joshua has declared that he will exercise his contractual right to a rematch with Usyk, which will most likely take place in the UK in February or March.

But Warren told Sportsmail: “He shouldn’t go anywhere near Usyk – he will never beat him.

“In terms of fighting Tyson Fury, it can happen. Joshua losing has taken away the belts and he is damaged goods now. But people would still buy into that fight. It can happen and it can happen in the UK.

“But he shouldn’t have a rematch with Usyk. I wouldn’t even think about it if I was him.”
