The pattern we’ve seen in the early rounds continues as it’s pretty circumspect stuff to start with, before it opens up in the final minute.
Usyk lands first once more, but Joshua again has a response as he fires off a couple of rights hands of his own.
The round ends with Joshua countering another Usyk attack and the Brit walks back to his corner with a smile on his face.
The fight opens up in the fourth round as Usyk releases a barrage of blows to Joshua, but the former champion is able to respond to what his opponent throws at him.
Joshua launches a big combination as the bell goes and is certainly easing up as we move through the fight.
