FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS | Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk

[Music] anthony joshua versus alexander usyk lucic is looking to become only the third man to win world titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight aj meanwhile he is looking to pass all down to side that he is the number one heavyweight on the planet wba wbo and ibf heavyweight titles are on the line one of the best heavyweights in recent memory a chance to prove it again tonight but he faces what many consider to be all around his toughest challenge yet alexander usyk from the ukraine and here we go todd grisham darren parker and roy jones jr ringside but this is what i expected from anthony joshua to come to the center ring but so good backhand for music good shot also expected lots of faints to come from the smaller man from ukraine uzik trying to get the reaction from anthony joshua roy jones says it's very important for joshua to get out to a quick start it is but we see i saw using get off to the start first with a good left-hand lead [Applause] all the talk about usyk being too small for a heavyweight he looks the part right now coming in at over 220 pounds joshua closer to 240. that's very smart to come here bigger because you want to be able to bully him if any chance comes yes positive work with the feet from music doesn't want to give up too much ground then he hasn't so far [Applause] oh and again usyk with a straight left hand the southpaw scores two big shots straight down the middle of the guard of aj he took it well though there's that tremendous footwork that's what i'm talking about he's going left and right he's not going straight down the pike so you don't have to worry about running into a big shot and that's what he has to do change to roy jones jr looking for that backhand again just misses but changes the level to the body good work by usic boxing can use smart keep up this pace for 12 rounds i think he can and if he can this will be something spectacular to see [Applause] but when he gets fatigued he has to avoid those big shots still from aj like i said is deadly from round one to the end of the fight finding it hard to work out this puzzle at the minute aj needs to let that jab go you gotta try quit trying to put the punch on usic and just throw it right now he's trying to place it that's going to be very difficult like to close the gap slightly with his feet aj and what we have to remember is that using has survived the punches such as guys and uh tresor so big punchers do not scare him at all still waiting for aj to land a big right hand away at the jab as usual bounces in out and side to side [Applause] his fellow countryman vasily lomachenko would be proud of the angles he's taken here tonight of course that's a straight left right down the pipe again he's killing aj with the fake game guys aj is not used to his fake game from a southpaw alexander usyk putting in the performance of a light touch on the legs through the legs the champ is in real trouble here in round three do you believe what we're seeing yes he didn't get to vote will aj play it safe or will he go for the gusto like he did in the first fight against andy ruiz [Applause] you see the overhand level i said it earlier in the fight i told you that if you keep letting him get that close he gonna land on straight left or overhand up and finally he landed the overhand to the body big hands to the body from aj yeah very good by the shot [Applause] is aj beginning to figure him out roy no not yet but he's figuring out that he needs to go to the body more he is figuring that out he's controlling the pace better though now anthony joshua yeah still getting picked off as much [Music] this is better stuff from aj but can he hold this for 12 rounds good job [Music] good footwork you just feel that acoustic connects with a big shot again aj is going to be in trouble but you also feel it aj connection with a big shot user going to be in trouble that's the beauty of heavyweights all it takes is one aj with a right shot he's found his confidence again [Applause] downstairs to the body with the left who's looking for overhead left right there joshua potentially if he lands it might be overlooked the crowd sensing the pendulum is swimming swinging in their champion's favor big right for aj [Applause] can he build on it 20 seconds to go here in the sixth [Applause] he needs to start trying to find the backhand of his own again who's sick he's stopped throwing it counter right hook from aj straight right lucy may just want to scamper around till he hears the bell it's aj for now and that's what he does and we head to the seventh good fight and what a very good response from andy joshua well roy what would your advice be right now for alexander usyk uh get back to the body start throwing more straight lifts and start throwing more overhead left you got to hurt him again and my advice to joshua would be keep doing exactly what you're doing using that left hand and touching him with shots if you touch him you can hit him [Applause] oh boy there's your answer for music and a jab backs joshua up again [Applause] to the body [Applause] right when joshua seems to be getting comfortable getting in his groove usic answers back [Applause] it is hard to convey the atmosphere these two men are fighting in right now it is off the charts electric oh back out from music aj took this thing out of that just left back u6 punches are not as hard as they were earlier though straight up for that left hand right on the chin joshua took that one well joshua punches still have a lot more steam on him than usual right now 30 seconds to go here in round nine in what has been a fantastic heavyweight fight punctuated by another left hand from the challenger [Applause] and now joshua on the front foot towards the ropes by the shot now johnson feels like usually can't hurt him anymore good job sharp jab right for the guard just misses with the left this fight has been everything you could have asked it to be and so [Applause] that right hand going with the skull of joshua and there's usyk again with his own left hand [Applause] hot shot though sick good job [Applause] ringside seats were selling as high as 10 000 pounds and even those seats you got to feel they're getting the money's worth a straight left hand for music again and joshua's got blood out coming out of his nose he had that at the end of the last round [Applause] both men with swelling under the right eye [Applause] how do you like it aj and usyk championship rounds [Applause] the jab scoring for usyk according to derek anthony joshua's got to win these final two rounds good shot by joshua good shot by joshua good straight right hand [Applause] darren what are you telling aj right now force the pace don't do anything clumsy get behind that jab get your foot on the outside of the southpaw stance and try it and land that right hand and i'm pretending to also go to the body but i'll tell the usyk to use more overhand left and attack that right hand the eyes falling or take that out [Applause] aj stalking his man but not throwing anything the foot won't want to land with throw much lucik trying to send shockwaves throughout the heavyweight division and the boxing world in general he's got aj in trouble in london with a minute 39 to go tremendous boxing bosek the movement non-stop for 12 rounds and with a great left hand again i think aj is ahead again aj couldn't be hurt he doesn't have time to be hurt oh he really doesn't you got to try to find one shot not get one shot or not take one shot but he has to give one shot back down good action here both man looking for the big shot good job she gotta follow up by backhand aj still seemingly not quite fully balanced a little all kilter [Applause] it has been a hellacious battle right from the start yes it has [Applause] 30 seconds to go and just trying for the knockout though but who who gets the knockout they just trapped when i see it oh big shots by using he's oh [Applause] a fight of the year contender has alexander uzik become the heavyweight champion or did aj just do enough aj has not gotten off his stool ladies and gentlemen after 12 rounds we go to the judge's scoreboards 117 to 112. steve weisfeld has it 116 to 112. and howard foster scores at 115 to 113 all three scores go to the winner by unanimous decision and new [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he fights for glory and he's found it in all apologies to canelo alvarez but you've got to say this man has to be if not the one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world considering what he just did absolutely what a tremendous feat he has just achieved this evening boxed so well i mean that that was almost a master class of how to box against the bigger man the movement the speed he was so elusive he made it so difficult for aj to land the big shot don't get me wrong aj had a period in the middle rounds that he started to get back into it but for me there was only one win i had that similar to the scorecard where usyk wins by four you
