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

Oleksandr Usyk is guiding Anthony Joshua in his preparations to defeat Tyson Fury. Joshua, a former world champion who has lost to Usyk twice, has joined Usyk's training camp. Usyk has expressed his enthusiasm for their collaboration, 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 advise Joshua on how to face Fury. Usyk believes Joshua can emerge victorious, saying, 'I think AJ will succeed in beating my friend Fury.' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that negotiations for a potential fight between Joshua and Fury are progressing. Usyk might even be in Joshua's corner for the fight. Hearn noted that training with Usyk has already had a significant impact on Joshua, citing the benefits of being around the best fighter in the sport. Usyk is also preparing for his own upcoming fight against Rico Verhoeven on May 23. When asked about his future plans, Usyk stated, 'My focus is currently on the May 23 fight in Egypt. I will consider other plans after that.'
