BOXING JOSHUA v USYK

OLEKSANDR USYK has warned Anthony Joshua that he intends to inflict more pain on him this Saturday.

Usyk says their world-heavyweight title rematch will be a continuation of their first fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 11 months ago when he out-thought and outboxed Joshua.

The unbeaten world-heavyweight king nearly stopped Joshua in the 12th – and says he will pick up where he left off in that fight.

“We learned about each other in the first fight,” said the Ukrainian.

“He learned about me and I learned about him. I don’t think it’s going to be a new bout. The last bout will be continued – round 13, round 14, round 15, however long the fight will last.

“We have had enough time to study each other and, on Saturday night, it will be a great, great fight.”
