“Different Levels Now” Usyk’s Team Has  gives one option For Anthony Joshua Trilogy Fight: “Different Levels Now”

Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk have fought 24 rounds together and there’s a possibility to make it 36 before they hang up the gloves.

‘AJ’ put his WBA, WBO and IBF belts on the line against the former undisputed cruiserweight champion in 2021, being thoroughly outboxed to lose for just the second time in his career.

Usyk kept the belts in the immediate rematch despite a more spirited performance from the Brit, and would go on to become undisputed in a second weight-class by beating Tyson Fury this year.

With Joshua now on a four-fight win streak, Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk was recently asked about the potential of a third fight by Boxing King Media.

“Anthony Joshua was talking about the third fight. He’s a great champ. He’s changed a lot since the two fights with Usyk. We’ve seen him going down and see him rising up. It’s also a complicated fight to make. I’ll tell you why – cause now we are on different levels.

The first fight, Usyk was almost no-name and Anthony Joshua was a massive star in the UK. After he beat him twice, Anthony Joshua still remains a massive star here no matter what. So this fight might be something that attracts attention from the whole world.”

After going back and forth on the price-tag his man would deserve for the third fight, Krassyuk settled on a modest number.

“Let’s stay with $200 million.”

Joshua fights for his old belt on September 21 after Usyk vacated, allowing Daniel Dubois to be elevated to Full IBF Champion and put it on the line against his fellow Brit.

Should ‘AJ’ win that to become a three-time heavyweight champion and Usyk beat Fury in their December rematch, there may indeed be discussions on the fight, but fans may wonder how much motivation will come from the Ukrainian’s side given his two conclusive wins.

A more lucrative scenario would be for Fury to avenge his defeat, setting up a long-awaited all-British showdown with Joshua.
