    The rematch is scheduled for August, which will be 11 months since they first fought ... 11 months for a rematch... ridiculous...

    Everything here is correct.

    Juicua was in on the diabolical plan with his evil promoter Eddie Hearn to age Usyk out all the while delaying the rematch after February so the war could take its toll. Absolutely pathetic on Matchrooms end

    In addition to that, the bodybuilder has been getting more time to adjust to his new trainer and has obtained government tier PEDs imported straight from Eddie Reynoso's stable. While Usyk has had less time to train and had to put on weight quickly because he was malnourished from the Russia invasion which could also hinder his performance.

    It's not fair. Rematch clauses are the epitome of boxing corruption. Usyk shouldn't have to go through with this rematch. I pray he brutally KO's Joshua and retires him

    Joshua secretly manipulated global events to see to it that Russia invaded Ukraine.

    The swine.

    The Ukraine situation has caused part of the delay

    Then in addition to that, AJ has been working with different trainers to see who would work best....... now he's found a new trainer he's also go to put in as much work as possible with Garcia.

    Joshua needs to change his whole style and learn a new way to fight in order to beat Usyk. Think that was the delay all about, no conspiracy theory or hating on Joshua, Usyk is just a phenomenal fighter since CW. Also, AJ v Fury will be great for the sport
