Oleksandr Usyk has pledged to assist Anthony Joshua in his bid to defeat Tyson Fury. Joshua, a former world champion who has lost to Usyk twice, has joined Usyk's training camp, and the two have formed a strong bond. Usyk has expressed his enthusiasm for their partnership, 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 provide Joshua with valuable guidance on how to overcome Fury. Usyk confidently stated, '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 in Joshua's corner for the highly anticipated bout. Hearn expressed his confidence in Joshua's abilities, saying, 'Training with Usyk is already making a significant impact on Joshua.
Being around the best fighter in the sport is incredible, and he's thriving in this environment.' 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.'
