Anthony Joshua has been told by Evander Holyfield he can only beat Oleksandr Usyk if he is more aggressive.
Joshua was criticised for being too passive in his points loss to Usyk 11 months ago, which cost him his WBA Super, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. Holyfield, the only four-time world heavyweight champ, says his only route to victory on Saturday in Jeddah is to take the fight to the smaller Usyk.
The Hall of Famer says Joshua must make his height, reach and strength advantages count against the unbeaten Ukrainian. “It may not be as simple as that, but if they don’t take the fight to him, the chances are it ain’t going to happen for him,” he said.
