Anthony Joshua Needs to Make a Radical Change

Standing eight count while wondering if the heavyweight upsets will continue next weekend . . .

8 — Anthony Joshua intends to pursue an immediate rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. Fine. Some, like Top Rank’s Bob Arum, have suggested Joshua allow Usyk to face the winner of Tyson Fury–Deontay Wilder, but I get it. Joshua has control of the situation. He allows Usyk to move on, he loses it. But Joshua needs to make some changes. Big changes. He did everything wrong against Usyk. He fought at 240 pounds. Why? Joshua’s superior size was one of the few advantages he had over Usyk.
