Joshua or Usyk?

Will you stay loyal to Joshua or cheer Usyk on?

With the Ukraine invasion will this change your decision to get behind Usyk?

Will be firmly behind AJ. I like Usyk and sympathise massively with the current situation of his home nation but I’ve always been a fan of AJ since watching him live as an amateur. Also been to half of his pro fights live too. He’s not what a lot thought he was and he’s not perhaps what he once was either as a fighter but he’s delivered loads of big fights/big nights.

I'm in the tiniest of minusculiest minorities who believe Joshua can overturn the defeat, just need Anthony to believe it too. If he fights the same fight he gets beat verbatim. Let the f'in hands go, bully him until you're exhausted where you cant bully no more. Another honourable points defeat borders on him being dishonest to win, there is no way he can outbox him, every chance he can outmuscle him.

Not fussed, which is pretty much how I feel for 95% of fights, especially when neither of the boxers are Scots. Just hope it’s a good fight.

That's how I feel too.
AJ has proved he can make the changes he needs to to win. Sure it wasn't very exciting how he dealt with Fat Andy the second time around, but he proved his metal and came back from a nasty KO to pitching a shutout- that's what champions do.
If (and that's if) he can beat Uysk, then huge respect.
I like both guys, and respect their resumes - and wish them both all the best.

Just like me.

In their first bout I was actually rooting for Usyk. He’s been my favourite since he turned pro.

But all in all, I want a good fight always.

It’s a massive fight, I’m so looking forward to it :TU:

Actually I’ll retract that slightly. If Joshua comes out really aggressive and going for the ko, I’ll cheer him on. But if he comes out with stupid tactics trying to outbox Usyk again, I’ll boo him.

Cheer is a bit strong but I'd rather Usyk win. Boxing loses a lot of tough lads in Eastern Europe and Central Asia to MMA these days, Usyk being top dog might pull the next generation of great boxers into the gyms.

I cheered Usyk on in the first fight & I’ll do so in the rematch. Nothing personal against AJ but find Usyk much more likeable than any of Joshua, Fury or Whyte. I wish more fighters had his mentality.

In general I cheer for the Brit but sometimes you get fighters from abroad that you can’t help but root for & Usyk’s one of them for me.

I like to keep it neutral unless the boxer is a bit of an unlikeable nob like Billy Joe Saunders or Broner.
May the best man win I say and just enjoy the event!

Good point, Usyk does come across really well to be fair.

As I’ve said I’m more invested in how good the fight is, but it is hard to root against Usyk

Usyk

Can't stand Joshua and I loved when he got knocked out by Fat Boy. I'm hoping for Usyk to KO him early on.

Obviously I gotta cheer on AJ as he's British. He's not going to win though.

I’ve been a big fan of Usyk ever since I saw him dismantle Michael Hunter, what’s not to like about a guy like Usyk.

I hope he wins but if AJ turns the tables then we get the biggest fight Britain has ever seen so it’s a win win situation for me.

Hope AJ gets planted into the canvas within 6 rounds the racist knob.
