What makes you think AJ can change his game? He's got a poor gas tank and an average chin so we're not gonna all of a sudden see him try and push Usyk back constantly as he doesn't know how to, and Usyk is too clever to be backed up in straight lines, where we'll see him constantly changing angles which gave AJ fits.

Usyk is a generational talent, one of the best we'll ever see, and I back him to beat Fury as well.

Chisora and Briedis (you can add Witherspoon to the list) are the reasons why AJ wins the rematch.  He just didn't look that good against them.  Against AJ, he had the fight of his life, and good on him.  Perfect strategy, counters and angles.  Let's see how AJ does when he changes it up and goes after him like the aforementioned three up above.  Fury would toy with Usyk.

Don't know why everyone thinks AJ has a poor chin.  He's only been KO'd once.  He survived Usyk and Klit, both who had him hurt.  I'd rate it average.

AJ doesn't fight like Chisora and Breidis and never will, so that arguent is null and void imo, and no he did not have the fight of his life against AJ, he just rises to the occasion and has done it time and time again, and all in the opponents backyard too, and if we're going with Fury being a league above the best southpaw in the world Usyk, then why did he go life and death with Otto Wallin, the last southpaw he faced? He just barely got out of that fight and Usyk is miles ahead of Wallin, who is solid fringe top 10 but nothing more.

Usyk is odds-on at 1/2 to beat the 32-year-old via any method in August, while Joshua is 7/4 to defeat his Usyk in the eagerly anticipated rematch. The draw is currently priced at 16/1.
