Oleksandr Usyk has pledged to assist Anthony Joshua in defeating Tyson Fury. Joshua, a former world champion who lost to Usyk twice, has joined Usyk's training camp, and the two have formed a strong bond. Usyk has expressed his enthusiasm for having Joshua on his team, stating, 'We support each other, work together, and have a great time. We've transitioned from being rivals to friends.' As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion, Usyk is well-equipped to advise Joshua on how to take down Fury, having beaten him twice himself.
Usyk confidently stated, 'I believe AJ will triumph over my friend Fury.' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for a potential fight between Joshua and Fury are progressing, with Usyk potentially being in Joshua's corner. Hearn expressed his confidence in Joshua's abilities, stating, 'Training with Usyk is already making a significant impact on Joshua.
Being around the best fighter in the sport is incredible, and he loves it.' Usyk is currently preparing for his own fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23, but he remains focused on helping Joshua achieve victory over Fury.
