It usually is on DAZN unless it's Parker fighting.

Joshua reminds me of a cricketer with the yips, no confidence in himself, I think a win in the rematch is going to be very hard due to this.
He retains the power to turn the fight around with 1 or 2 good clean punches, but he's going to need the mental attitude to put himself in position to land those shots, that's going to take confidence, it might mean you need to bite down on the gumshield and be prepared to take one to land one, is that AJ right now? I don't think so.

I think you guys and gals over-estimate Usyk and under-estimate AJ. AJ adjusted his strategy when he re-matched Ruiz, and he'll do the same with Usyk. Up until the AJ fight, Usyk struggled in the early rounds. He's a cruiser. AJ will re-discover his poer and go for broke. He'll KO Usyk in the middle rounds. Of course, AJ could get countered. I think AJ will go into this fight the favourite. Or at least even money.

Die I think u underestimate Usyk
He will adjust and get better- Ruiz went straight from the buffet to the rematch.
AJ has doubts - if you let doubt into your head it will live there ( old rugby coach loved that saying)
Of course AJ has a KO chance but he can't just stay away from Usyk at length -... will be a great watch
RE: AJ/Usyk Sunday. DAZN - diehard - 01-20-2022
Yep, I probably do underestimate him. I think he was a great cruiser, but he looked ordinary against Witherspoon and Chisora. Chisora almost had him outta there. He has trouble with big hitters, and AJ is/was one of the best. Yes, AJ does have head problems, and that may determine the outcome. If AJ goes for it, and gets countered like Usyk can do well, it could be the end of AJ if he gets hurt from the counter.
If Usyk takes AJ apart with counters, I'll give him his due.

TOTAL CHAOS' - BOB ARUM DESCRIBES TALKS FOR TYSON FURY VS. OLEKSANDR USYK IN MIDDLE EAST

Anthony Joshua would potentially miss out on his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Bob Arum has described the ‘total’ chaos that has led to talks about a Middle East fight for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.
Arum himself is not clear if the WBC champion will fight Usyk, Dilian Whyte or even another heavyweight contender next, having previously put forward Robert Helenius and Manuel Charr as potential candidates.
The WBC ordered Fury to fight Whyte in a mandatory defence but Whyte has objected to the 80/20 split, and purse bids are now delayed until Friday January 21.
Arum has explained that there are negotiations for Fury to skip his Whyte fight and instead meet Oleksandr Usyk, the current IBF, WBA and WBO champion - though Anthony Joshua would have to receive a hefty sum to step aside.
“It is total chaos,” Arum said.
“What’s happening is just promises coming out of the Middle East about doing a unified fight with Usyk and Fury, and is Dillian Whyte gonna step aside?
“And people that have absolutely no contractual ties – like Frank Warren’s Queensberry and our Top Rank do – are getting involved.
“It’s a typical terrible kind of situation, but hopefully it’ll get sorted out and probably it will get sorted out with a purse bid on Friday.”
Asked for clarity over Fury’s next fight, he said: “I have absolutely no idea.
“Who are these people in the Middle East? And what’s their backing and all of that stuff? That’s not clear.
“All I know is that the contract with Tyson Fury is with Frank Warren’s Queensberry and Top Rank.
“Nobody has talked to us about buying out rights or getting our permission to go ahead.”
