Usyk Trains with Joshua to Take Down 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 lost to Usyk on two occasions, has joined forces with the Ukrainian's training team. Usyk has extended a warm welcome to Joshua, stating, 'We support each other, work together, and share jokes - it's a fantastic experience. Initially, we were rivals, but now we're friends.' As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion, Usyk is the ideal person to guide Joshua in his preparation to face Fury. Usyk expressed his confidence in Joshua, saying, 'I believe AJ will triumph over my friend Fury.' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations are progressing for a potential fight between Joshua and Fury later this year. Usyk may even be present in Joshua's corner for the fight. Hearn noted that training with Usyk has already had a significant impact on Joshua, saying, 'The setup is incredible, and being around the best fighter in the sport is a valuable experience.' Usyk is currently preparing for his own fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 and remains focused on the task at hand, stating, 'For me, it's just another fight - I'm a master boxer.'
