Tottenham Hotspurs fans are used to the same old song and dance, high expectations with diminishing results, and sadly despite Anthony Joshua selling their stadium out, those results didn’t change for them.
Oleksandr Usyk came into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and gave Joshua the Pep Guardiola treatment with a tactical striking approach, and was able to put him in situations he wasn’t comfortable in. Everyone clamoring for Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury may be a lot quieter now because what we saw Usyk do both physically and gameplan-wise is almost identical to a Fury approach, the only difference being Usyk did so with a six-foot-three frame instead of a six-foot-nine one that Fury possesses.
