Usyk Backs Joshua in Fury Showdown, Reveals Secret Training Sessions
Oleksandr Usyk has thrown his weight behind Anthony Joshua ahead of a potential all-British clash with Tyson Fury. The Ukrainian champion says he’s been quietly advising Joshua on tactics, technique and the right mindset. Joshua faces Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, but Usyk views that fight as “official sparring” for the real test against Fury. He praised Fury’s skill but made his loyalty clear: “I want Anthony to win — he deserves it.” Their partnership formed during camps in Spain and Ukraine, where Usyk shared strategy tips and mental coaching. Both fighters have faced personal tragedy, and Usyk told Joshua, “God gave you another chance. Don’t stop, pray, keep working, and move forward.” While preparing to defend his own title soon, Usyk promises to keep supporting Joshua. If the Fury bout happens, it will be about redemption, legacy and supremacy in the heavyweight division.
