Anthony Joshua to work with Oleksandr Usyk’s team in the fight with Jake Paul
Joshua reveals his separation with coach Ben Davison as he trains with Oleksandr Usyk’s camp in anticipation of the Jake Paul bout.
In preparation for his fight against Jake Paul in Miami on December 19, Anthony Joshua has stated that he has separated from his coaching staff and is currently training with Oleksandr Usyk’s camp.
The two-time former heavyweight champion claimed that he has been training for the fight with the Usyk camp, which is the team of the man who vanquished him twice before. Fifteen months after his knockout defeat at Wembley Stadium to Daniel Dubois, Joshua will make his Netflix comeback to the ring with this bout.
Joshua addressed rumors regarding changes to his corner during his press conference on Friday. He said, “No, I won’t be trained by Ben Davison,” in response to the question of whether Ben Davison and Lee Wylie would continue to train him. When I mentioned that London distracts me a little, I was asked to train with Team Usyk.
According to Joshua, the choice has already started to influence his preparations. He’s among the finest in the world, in my opinion, and we’ve been training well while I’ve been in Spain. It was also “down to his team that’s around him, so I linked up with them,” he added, clarifying that he is among the finest in the world.
He described the event as enlightening. “Gathering an understanding of how someone who has accomplished so much has been amazing; it’s been a wonderful and difficult experience.”
Although he made it clear that he and Usyk are not sharing the ring, Joshua acknowledged that he has been training with Team Usyk for “a couple months now.” “No, Usyk and I don’t spar; he’s now training somewhere else. Although he has been in camp, he has been in and out of camp, therefore he is currently training somewhere else.
