Usyk Trains Joshua to Overcome Fury: 'AJ is Capable of Winning'

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 team. Usyk has welcomed Joshua, stating they help and work together, and their past rivalry has turned into friendship. As a two-weight, three-time undisputed world champion who has beaten Fury twice, Usyk is well-positioned to advise Joshua on how to take on Fury. Usyk expressed confidence in Joshua, saying, 'I believe AJ can beat my friend Fury.' Usyk might even be in Joshua's corner for the fight. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for the Fury-Joshua fight are progressing, and training with Usyk has significantly improved Joshua's performance. Hearn noted that being around the best fighter in the sport has been incredible for Joshua, who is now more confident and passionate about his career and the upcoming fight. Usyk is preparing for his own fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 and is focused on defending his WBC title.
