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 twice, has joined Usyk's training camp, and the two are working together. Usyk has welcomed Joshua into his team, stating, 'We support each other, work together, and have a great time. We've transitioned from 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. Usyk expressed confidence in Joshua, saying, 'I believe AJ will beat my friend Fury.' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for a fight between Joshua and Fury are progressing, with the potential for Usyk to be in Joshua's corner. Hearn noted that training with Usyk has already had a significant impact on Joshua, who is inspired by the environment and Usyk's presence. Usyk is preparing for his own fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 and is focused on the task at hand, stating, 'For me, it's just another fight. I'm a master boxer.'
