Hearn: Usyk's A Very Tought Fight For Joshua; AJ Must Be Completely Ruthless In That Fight

LAS VEGAS – Eddie Hearn acknowledged Oleksandr Usyk hasn't exactly looked great since he moved up to the heavyweight division. The British promoter still thinks the former undisputed cruiserweight champion would give Anthony Joshua a difficult fight. Assuming Hearn, whose company promotes Joshua and co-promotes Usyk, and Alex Krassyuk, Usyk's other promotional representative, come to an agreement soon, Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) will make a mandated defense of his WBO heavyweight title versus Ukraine's Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) late this summer.
