“I WILL GIVE HIM ONE LAST CHANCE” Oleksandr Usyk Accepts Third Fight With Anthony Joshua

In a stunning development that has electrified the boxing world, Oleksandr Usyk has agreed to a third fight with Anthony Joshua, declaring that he is willing to give the former two-time heavyweight champion “one last chance” to reclaim his honor in the ring. This announcement follows Usyk’s hard-fought victory over Daniel Dubois, where he successfully defended his unified heavyweight titles despite a controversial low blow from Dubois in the fifth round.


Usyk, who previously defeated Joshua in their two previous bouts, has now set his sights on another clash with his British rival. After proving his resilience against Dubois, Usyk’s confidence is at an all-time high, but his tone towards Joshua is clear—this could be his final shot.

“I will give him one last chance,” Usyk stated firmly in a post-fight interview, making it clear that he believes Joshua still has something to prove. “He is a great fighter, but if he wants to stand in front of me again, it will be his last opportunity.”

The prospect of a trilogy fight between Usyk and Joshua has immediately captured the attention of fans, who are eager to see whether Joshua can reclaim his former glory after two consecutive losses to the Ukrainian champion. Usyk first dethroned Joshua in September 2021, seizing his WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles in a masterclass display of speed and technique. Joshua’s attempt to regain the titles in their August 2022 rematch also ended in defeat, with Usyk outpointing him in another brilliant performance.

Since those losses, Joshua has been on a mission to rebuild his career. However, questions have remained about his ability to perform at the highest level, especially against an elite boxer like Usyk.
