Anthony Joshua's former opponent, Kubrat Pulev, is backing Oleksandr Usyk to beat him again in their rematch, branding the Brit "nothing special".
Joshua lost his unified world heavyweight titles to Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in September, but will get an immediate rematch for the belts this summer. It looks like he will face the Ukrainian on August 13 in Saudi Arabia and the odds have flipped to favour the current champion after Joshua was tipped to win the first bout.
Pulev believes that Usyk will retain his titles when he makes his fourth outing at heavyweight, arguing that despite losing to Joshua by knockout back in 2020, his old rival is "nothing special". The Bulgarian argues that he was ill-prepared for their London showdown, and that's why he was stopped.
