      ‘He’s angry’ – Anthony Joshua has already changed style, tactics and training for Oleksandr Usyk rematch, reveals Hearn

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has adopted a ‘challenger mentality’ following his devastating defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.Slick southpaw Usyk ripped the unified heavyweight titles from AJ’s grasp in September with a masterclass at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

      Defeat to the Ukrainian has forced Joshua to look for a new training base and reassess his strategy, which promoter Eddie Hearn believes will do him the world of good.
      He told Betfred: “There are fine margins between success and failure and those little percentages of rest relate to that.
      “He’s had 14 years in Sheffield now. It’s an incredible facility, but he is God there.
      “The amateurs look up to him and his picture is everywhere.
      “I say we have to go rough and rugged but he’s got to have that challenger mentality in this fight and he’s got it.
      “Everything I hear from him tells me that he wants to win badly and bash Usyk up, which I didn’t hear any of going into the first fight.
      “He’s angry, which is good.

      “No decision has been made yet but I do think a change of scenery would be good for him in terms of where his training camp’s based.”
      Joshua, 32, has faced strong calls to axe head coach Rob McCracken following his second dethroning.
      But Hearn believes the Olympian will be hard-pressed to cut ties with his long-time trainer.
      He said: “Robert McCracken is more than just a trainer to AJ. He’s a friend. He’s a mentor. He’s an advisor.
      “I think a change of scenery for AJ is sometimes good. I think it was refreshing for him when he went over to America recently.
      “Going from getting mobbed wherever he is in the UK to that not happening.
      “I’m not saying people don’t know him in America, but it’s different to not being able to walk around here.

      “You’re getting photographed everywhere and the thing with AJ is that he’s got time for everybody. That can be extra draining.
      “Sometimes he’s taken half an hour’s worth of photographs before he’s even got into training.”
      But former unified heavyweight champ Joshua has hinted he could very well ditch McCracken for his rematch with Usyk, which is expected to take place early next year.
      He told iFL TV: “As a man, I have to do what’s right for me.
      “I speak to Rob about it, and Rob, as a man, agrees that if it’s good for me, he’ll say ‘champ, you do what you’ve got to do’.
      “Rob’s not a controlling type of person, he’s very laid back and he’s happy to see the progression of what’s needed.”

      They said: “trainer standing on the ring stairs 😂😂.”
      Another likened Fury’s lightning-quick punches to a ‘machine-gun’.
      Whilst Fury has some free time on his hands, he’s training his younger brother Tommy for his fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
      The celebrity grudge match is scheduled for December 18 in Florida.
      And Fury insists his brother must ‘fly to a foreign country and stay there’ if he can’t beat Paul, who has only been in boxing a couple of years.
      In the pre-fight press conference, held in Tampa, on Zoom, the Gyspy King said: “I think this is really good fight for everybody who is going to be watching around the world. 
      “There’s going to be a lot of people watching. A lot of people are interested in this fight. 
      “You’ve got two young, undefeated guys. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be an excellent night. I think Tommy will knock him out. 
      “No disrespect to Jake Paul, but like I said to Tommy, if he can’t knock Jake Paul out, fly to a foreign country and stay there because he ain’t coming home.”

      McCracken has faced strong calls to quit Team Joshua following the spectacular defeat, but fellow coach John Fury believes the Team GB trainer’s advice saved the Brit from a career-ending knockout.
      He told BT Sport: I’m not gonna knock Robert McCraken. Because I know, looking at that fight again, Robert McCracken was trying to keep him on his feet.
      “He was giving him the advice to get to the 12th round and not get stopped.
      “Because I think if AJ would’ve fought any other way, he would’ve got stopped.
      “Usyk would’ve knocked him out. So it was a caution sort of thing and happy to come second best. Because what can you do if your man is in that frame of mind?
      “It’s your job as a trainer to keep him on his feet. And whether he wins or not, it doesn’t matter.

      “Robert McCracken has saved his life, really, because he can come again. Can you imagine if Usyk would’ve counted him out?
      “That would’ve been AJ finished for good, wouldn’t it? So Robert McCracken, I think, has saved him for another day.
      “He can come back from that defeat because it wasn’t that bad. And why it wasn’t that bad is down to Robert McCracken.
      “You know, he’s not a bad trainer is Robert McCracken. But like I say, does he teach dog fighting when he needs to?”
      Fury – the father of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – believes Joshua should show loyalty to his long-time coach and not give him the boot.
      He added: “I’d kept McCracken, me. Because he’s been with him all this time, you’ve got to show him loyalty.
      “He’s done the best he could for him. And obviously, Robert McCraken has his best interests at heart.
      “All he needs to do is get somebody there that can teach him different stuff and then combine them together.

      “Work together with it. Do what Robert does and do what this other so-called new guy can do. If they’re out there.
      “I don’t think they’re out there.”
      Fury, 57, believes Joshua has all the attributes of a great fighter but lacks in the mental strength department.
      He added: “It’s mental, a million per cent. Because with a strong mind, you can do anything. I was always told there’s no such thing as can’t.
      “And when you think about it hard enough, there’s not many things you can’t do if you set your mind to it.
      “And when a man that big can punch, he’s got the right physique, he’s got everything to be a great fighter.

      “All he needs to do is get the knowledge of what’s missing. And that knowledge is learn how to go into trench warfare with your mind intact.
      “With that belief in yourself that, ‘Right, I’m gonna die here today. It’s you or me.’
      “And without that mentality, you’ll always spew it. You’ll look for the back door every time without that mentality.
      “And for my money, he’s not looking for the back door. He could’ve took the back door with [Wladimir] Klitschko in the fifth round. He didn’t.
      “Yes, he got beat up by [Andy] Ruiz. But he didn’t take the back door, did he? He got stopped, he was out on his feet. That was it, he couldn’t fight anymore.
      “He didn’t hit the canvas and stay down. Do you know what I’m saying?
      “He got up. So he’s got something to work with, hasn’t he? And when you look at it in-depth, he’s got a lot to work with.”
      Joshua, 32, will bid to reclaim the unified heavyweight throne in a rematch with the Ukrainian early next year, although a date for their second showdown has not yet been finalised.

      Whyte, 33, is the mandatory challenger for 33-year-old Fury’s iconic green and gold heavyweight belt.
      And Chisora hopes his buddy – who has not boxed in England since 2018 – does not swerve the domestic dust-up, if the sanctioning body orders it.
      The Londoner said: “The fight should happen in Manchester or Wembley.
      “It is about time British fans saw the Gypsy King back in the UK.

      ‘We’ll bring the killer out’ – Anthony Joshua urged to follow in Mike Tyson’s footsteps at new gym to beat Usyk AND Fury

      by

      Joshua has been visiting the USA to potentially hunt for a new trainer.
      And one man he has been seeing is boxing icon Ronnie Shields, who worked with both Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
      AJ also met with Shields’ assistant Dominick Guinn in Texas.
      And he reckons Joshua will reclaim his belts from Usyk if he links up with Shields, setting up a highly-anticipated division unifier against British rival Fury.
      Guinn told MyBettingSites: “Ronnie is an ex-champion and I’m a former fighter, though I never won a world championship.
      “I think Ronnie has maybe 30 world champions who he has worked with and I’ve been in the ring with a lot of different guys.

      “Ronnie’s worked with Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, David Tua and Andrew Golota, so I really feel you’ll [AJ] get the best experience if you come to Houston, Texas.
      “There’s a lot of places he could go but I’ll be honest with you, I really think if he landed in Houston, this would be the best place for him as far as learning and pushing him to the next level.
      “If he comes, I’m predicting a spectacular performance in the rematch and I’m predicting him getting that WBC title from Fury or whoever as well.
      “He already has all the tools, you just need the right person to bring it out of him.
      “We’ll bring the dog out of him, the killer out of him, help him remember how it felt before he won his first title, before he beat Charles Martin and got that first belt. And the hunger he felt when he first won it.
      “There’s always a time and a place for change. I don’t know his team. But if I was in his shoes, I would definitely make a change. 
      “You’ve been dealing with the same people for so long and they can only take you so far, now it’s up to him if he wants to change. 
      “He really needs to get out and see something else, different scenery, and I think it would be great for him to come to the United States.”
