    What does AJ do in the rematch to try and win? Tonight has proven he can't outbox him. Does he come in heavy go back to body builder AJ and try to blow him out in the first 4 and realise he isn't winning if he can't get it done early?

    Body builder AJ is never gonna beat Usyk, can't see him beating him either way.

    I don't see it either. Just wondered how people see him attempting the rematch.

    AJ landed 4-5 very very good shots on Usyk.
    Usyk took them like nothing

    He nevers beats Usyk

    Can't go after Usyk before round 4.

    You see his movement early doors? no point chasing that

    He needs to box the same then go AFTER HIM, and risk it all.

    As Hunter said, there is nothing that you can do to improve, when you lose like that. by UD.

    Just watch his last round and this fights last round. very similar.

    He lost weight vs Ruiz to move around better. Him coming in bigger will do nothing because he didn't use his size AT ALL today.

    What Joshua does for the rematch doesn't matter. He could come in the best shape he's ever been, and put in the fight of his life and he still doesn't beat this vesion of Usyk.

    Similar to Fury V Wilder 3 the rematch will be more about what condition Usyk will be rather than what Joshua is going to do. It's Usyks fight to lose.

    Is there a time limit on the rematch? Can he wait 4 years for Usyk to be 38.

    Taking the rematch would be a stupid move.

    I think he takes a long lay-off or retires. He didn’t have any positive moments in the fight where you thought if he tweaked a few things he could win. He’s a beaten man and it’ll be hard to live this down.

    Bodybuilder never deserves a rematch. He got beaten like a step child by a former cruiserweight lol.

    Joshua will come in looking like a bodybuilder again. 250lbs probably. He isn't winning a boxing fight with Usyk any time soon, so trying to knock him off, is the only option left.

    Why? It would sell really well.
    Besides who else would he fight? 2 losses are painful for his star power. Might as well go out with a bang against Usyk

    Usyk will be even more ready and prepared having faced AJ and even beaten him
