Usyk Trains Joshua to Overcome Fury: 'AJ Will Emerge Victorious'

Oleksandr Usyk has pledged to assist Anthony Joshua in defeating Tyson Fury. Joshua, a former world champion who lost to Usyk on two occasions, has joined Usyk's training camp, where they are working together as the unbeaten, unified heavyweight champion prepares for his upcoming fight. Usyk has extended a warm welcome to Joshua, stating, 'We support each other, work together, and share jokes - it's a wonderful experience. Previously, we were rivals, but now we're friends.' As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion who has beaten Fury twice, Usyk is the ideal person to advise Joshua on how to tackle Fury. Usyk expressed his confidence in Joshua, saying, 'I believe AJ will triumph over my friend Fury.' Meanwhile, Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown between Joshua and Fury are progressing, with the possibility of Usyk being in Joshua's corner for the fight. Hearn noted that training with Usyk has already had a significant impact on Joshua, who has been inspired by the Ukrainian's presence and is bringing a newfound passion and fire to his career. Usyk, however, is focusing on his upcoming title defense against Rico Verhoeven on May 23, stating, 'For me, it's just another fight - I'm a master boxer.'
