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, and the two are working together. Usyk has expressed his delight at having Joshua on board, stating, 'We're helping each other, working together, and having a great time. We've transitioned from being rivals to friends.' As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion, Usyk is well-positioned to offer Joshua advice on how to overcome Fury, having beaten him twice himself. Usyk confidently asserted, 'I believe AJ will triumph over my friend Fury.' The possibility of Usyk being in Joshua's corner for the Fury fight is also being considered. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for the highly anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown are progressing, with Usyk's training expected to make a significant impact on Joshua's performance. Hearn noted, 'Being around the best fighter in the sport is incredible, and he loves it.' Usyk is currently preparing for his own title defense against Rico Verhoeven on May 23, but his focus remains on the immediate task at hand, with future plans to be discussed after the fight.
