A body language expert has assessed that Anthony Joshua showed discomfort during his lengthy face-off with Oleksandr Usyk on Tuesday.
The duo met at a press conference in Jeddah on Tuesday, marking the first time they had seen each other since Usyk took the unified WBA, WBO and IBF belts from Joshua last September. They remained cordial and were at times friendly during a tame media day to launch their highly-anticipated world heavyweight title rematch.
Joshua and Usyk will let their fists do the talking in the ring on August 20 at the Jeddah Super Dome, but first have to promote the fight with media events in Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. They will both receive massive purses for the bout, which Saudi Arabian officials have paid hundreds of millions to stage in their country.
