But instead of preparing for the bout, the Ukrainian has had to get his boxing fix from teaching his little girl some moves.

The heartwarming video posted to social media shows the the dad-of-three coaching his daughter how to duck and dodge hits.

He waves his hands towards her very slowly, so as obviously not to actually hit her, while she nimbly gets out of the way.

She then gets an opportunity to throw little punches into her dad’s hands.

As well as Chisora, Usyk also has a fight with the winner of Anthony Joshua and Kubrat Pulev on the line, having been appointed by the WBC as mandatory challenger to the heavyweight belt, currently one of four held by AJ.

And he has been staying in pristine shape while in lockdown.

He has been posting pictures of his workouts to social media.

One snap sees him in his home gym, flexing his enormous biceps with a weight at his feet.
