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

Oleksandr Usyk has pledged to assist Anthony Joshua in his quest to defeat Tyson Fury. Joshua, a former world champion who has lost to Usyk on two occasions, has joined Usyk's training camp, where they are working together in preparation for their respective upcoming fights. Usyk has expressed his enthusiasm for having Joshua on board, stating, 'We support each other, work together, and enjoy each other's company. We've transitioned from being rivals to friends.' As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion, Usyk is well-equipped to provide Joshua with valuable insights on how to overcome Fury, having beaten him twice himself. Usyk confidently asserted, 'I believe AJ will triumph over my friend Fury.' 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 expressed his confidence in Joshua's ability to win, citing the positive impact of training with Usyk. 'The setup is incredible, and being around the best fighter in the sport is a significant advantage,' Hearn said. 'Joshua is bringing a new level of passion and fire to his career, and with Usyk's guidance, he's poised to reach new heights.' Usyk is currently preparing for his own title defense against Rico Verhoeven on May 23, but he remains focused on the task at hand, stating, 'For me, it's just another fight. I'm a master boxer.'
