“I think [Joshua] has watched it back and knows what he needs to do. He’s got a good team who’s gonna drill it into him that this is not a boxing match, this has got to be a dog fight from the first bell.

“He should be this close to getting a point deducted or disqualified, that’s how physical he needs to be, because he’s a specimen like no other in the heavyweight division. He is physically the supreme heavyweight right now.
“He just needs to apply that into a style that’s useful, and last time round it wasn’t very useful at all. This time around he really has to do it, and I believe he will do it.”
Joshua has added Robert Garcia to his coaching team ahead of this month’s rematch, while the Briton’s long-time coach Rob McCracken has stepped away from the team.
Joshua’s loss to Usyk was the second of his professional career, with Andy Ruiz Jr having stopped the 32-year-old in June 2019. Joshua avenged that loss with a decision victory over the Mexican-American at the end of that year to reclaim the titles that he will try to win back from Usyk this month.
