Derek Chisora insists getting knocked out by Oleksandr Usyk would be 'GOOD' for Anthony Joshua as he says fellow Brit won't want to live with the regret of a points defeat in their world heavyweight title rematch

British Heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora has claimed that it would be better for Anthony Joshua to lose to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in a knockout rather than a points decision.

The duo look set to lock horns once more in Saudi Arabia after a date of August 20 was confirmed for the rematch.

Joshua lost his three world titles in surprising fashion when he was comfortably beaten in 12 rounds by Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September.

Chisora thinks that Watford-born Joshua must risk being knocked out if he is going to come away from the bout with no regrets.
