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 on Fury. Usyk expressed confidence in Joshua's ability to win, saying, 'I believe AJ will succeed in beating my friend Fury.' Negotiations are underway for Joshua to face Fury in an all-British heavyweight showdown this year. Usyk may even be in Joshua's corner for the fight.
Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that training with Usyk has already made a significant impact on Joshua. Hearn stated, 'Being around the best fighter in the sport is incredible, and he loves it.' Usyk is preparing for his own fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23 and is focused solely on this upcoming bout.
