World Heavyweight titles holder, Anthony Joshua, said he is ready to fight Oleksandr Usyk, if a WBO title defence is enforced next after his points win over Andy Ruiz Jr.
Britain’s heavyweight star regained the WBO, WBA ‘super’ and IBF titles following a masterful points victory over Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, and WBO president Paco Valcárcel was quick to tweet that mandatory challenger Usyk must receive a title shot within 180 days.
The Ukrainian pound-for-pound star watched from ringside at the Diriyah Arena and Joshua welcomed a showdown with Usyk, who has joined the top division after becoming undisputed cruiserweight champion.
