anthonyjoshua is probably at his ideal weight. tired. usyk, i expected him to be heavy, but not to the point where i thought, he is going to be slope, he is going to be sluggish, he is probably at a non—optimal weight, but let's not forget he is not a natural. there is a lot unknown about usyk for some ajay is to split him as a new heavyweight. he needs to put them on it early, in my opinion, to get thejob done, because usyk is so good. he is so technically proficient, so naturally gifted and talented. for me, his ability second to none. he was in olympic gold medallist. i look at his amateur record, phenomenal, so ajay needs to stick it on him, pulling him a little bit to get the job done. otherwise he could be in trouble. ., , ., trouble. you say stick it on him, but how hard — trouble. you say stick it on him, but how hard is _ trouble. you say stick it on him, but how hard is that _ trouble. you say stick it on him, but how hard is that going - trouble. you say stick it on him, but how hard is that going to - trouble. you say

anthonyjoshua says his highly—anticipated heavyweight showdown against oleksandr usyk will be one ofonent. the ukrainian claimed his first world title in just 10 fights. usyk was in a class of his own as a cruiserweight, becoming undisputed champion in 2018. i�*m quite experienced now. but he�*s good, in boxing we do have big egos and try to suppress people, but let�*s lift him up and say he is good, he has won the olympics and done the indisputed thing. so these one of the best fighters i�*m fighting in my career so far. as the excitement builds for the start of the ryder cup tomorrow, team europe have been attempting to win over the home fans at whistling straits. the players appeared in �*cheeseheads�* — a nod to the local nfl side, the green bay packers, with wisconsin known for its dairy production. on paper, the usa, are favourites to win, with 9 of the top 11 players in the world on their team, but ian poulter believes the tournamnet itself will be enough motivation for the european team. i think it is on each player to work out how he is going to use that energy to spur them
