      Derek Chisora called out Deontay Wilder in a bid to add the American to his ever-improving boxing record.
      The heavyweight veteran made the brave challenge after he overcame Kubrat Pulev in their epic rematch.
      Chisora, 38, had not won in his last three bouts, having last celebrated victory in 2019.
      He said: “I last won a fight three years ago…
      “I’m happy today but at the same time I’m sad. I don’t have many left in me but what I do have I will give my all to you guys.
      “I don’t have many left, so my next couple of fights… I’m on my way out.
      “I don’t want no easy fights, I want the hard fights. I told Eddie Hearn the other day, if he can get me the Bronze Bomber I’ll be happy.
      “I want to fight everybody in my era. Win or lose, I just want to fight.”

      But he does so this time potentially fighting for his career in another tough fight.
      HERE COMES PULEV
      Kubrat Pulev makes his way to the ring, met with a chorus of boos.
      He beat Derek Chisora in 2016 by split-decision in Germany.
      And he says he will do it again, this time in Chisora’s hometown.
      Prizefighter
      Derek Chisora’s early career was marred by wild antics more worthy of the NME than the Boxing News but eight years of parenthood have mellowed the father of two — just.
      He even reckons his hellraising heyday will help guarantee him a nice and sensible retirement.
      Chisora said: “Life is about enjoyment. There is no point being a great athlete if you don’t enjoy the fruits of being an athlete.
      “Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys his money in a different way — he has seven Bugattis, flies in private jets.
      “But you can get good athletes who don’t do anything and then the day they announce their retirement, they start trying to catch up on the 16 or 17 years of living wildly that they missed.
      “What happens is you become addicted to alcohol and the fast life, cocaine, everything.
      “While you are doing that, others your age are settling down with their families.
      “Me? I do both. Not the cocaine. But I go to parties, I enjoy life, I go to nice restaurants, I live in a nice house. And I enjoy life with my kids.”

      Russia’s war on Ukraine, where Usyk is from, also had an impact on the rematch with Joshua being made.
      Usyk, 35, returned to his home country earlier this tear to join the fight against Russia, which began in February.
      But he’s now in training camp for the biggest fight of his life, but one that he knows he can win.
      Usyk outpointed and largely outclassed a game Joshua in front of 70,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September to win the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO world titles.

Joshua & Usyk refuse to blink first in face-off as Hearn awkwardly smiles
      Just like the Olympic gold medallist did after his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua wants to right his wrong by facing the Ukrainian in a rematch.
      Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told The Sun earlier this month that his client is ‘baffled’ by the tactics used last year, and hinted at a change of gameplan for the rematch.
      He said: “I was talking to him the other night and I think finally it’s baffled him why he fought like that.
      “For a long time, he still felt even when he lost that he could still beat Usyk like that. But why when you don’t need to fight like that?
      “He could fight in your old style and have a much better chance of beating him. Klitschko-style but Usyk is a tremendous fighter, a great counterpuncher.”
      Hearn added that AJ “needs to be a lot more aggressive” this time.
      The two sides spent months negotiating a money-spinning deal for AJ’s second fight in Saudi Arabia, having beaten Ruiz Jr on points in the oil-rich country in December 2019.
      Joshua will also have a new training team, with the experienced Robert Garcia leading his corner while Angel Fernandez plays second-in-command.
      When is Joshua vs Usyk 2?

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 will take place on Saturday, August 20.
      The fight is going to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
      Joshua last fought in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, with the fight beginning at 9pm UK time.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.
      Sky Sports won the bidding war for the rights to show the event – with the UK rights for the fight not part of AJ’s DAZN deal.
      DAZN will be showing the fight in the rest of the world.

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 FULL CARD
      The Joshua vs Usyk 2 undercard has yet to be announced.
      It’s expected the Callum Smith will compete in Jeddah, however, just as he did on the first Joshua vs Usyk undercard.
      Keep up to date on SunSport for updates.
      Where will Joshua vs Usyk 2 take place?
      The venue for Joshua vs Uysk 2 has yet to be announced, but it’s expected the fight will be held at the Jeddah Super Dome.
      The 40,000-seater stadium is the largest geodesic dome in the world to stand without pillars, and hosted the WWE Elimination Chamber in February.
      Saudi Arabia has been a controversial host country, with the oil-rich nation accused of sportswashing after spending huge sums luring some of the world’s best golfers to their new LIV series.
      Hearn, however, has dismissed any such comparison. He said: “He is not worried about any backlash because he has done it before.
      “He will ultimately go, ‘Eddie over to you’. I am not going to pass the buck but it is very different when the deal is a 50/50 split. How can we go back to Usyk and say, ‘Let’s do it at Spurs’ because they will just say it is a non-starter.”
      What has been said?
      Both Joshua and Usyk met face-to-face for the first time since their clash last year at the press conference in Saudi Arabia.
      “The fight with Usyk, he bust my a** for some rounds,” Joshua quipped.
      “And I have to take that defeat like a man as well, I have to be accountable.
      “In the fight in September, I was wrong and he was right. Simply I have to reverse that role in August.
      “I don’t like to overcomplicate the situation, because there’s simplicity in genius. I’m just gonna keep things simple.”
      Usyk added: “As you all know, we are not in the best conditions at the moment back home.
      “I never made some very loud and bright speeches, all I did was just work hard in my training camp, my gym, that’s what I’m gonna do until the date of the fight.
      “Then I will enter the ring and I will make you happy with my boxing.”

      Who is Robert Garcia?
      Robert Garcia is Joshua’s new trainer, with AJ splitting from long-time coach Rob McCracken following his loss to Usyk last September.
      McCracken had led Joshua to Olympic gold at London 2012, his first world title in 2016, and the regaining of his belts in 2019.
      But the tactics Joshua used in the defeat to Usyk were widely panned, so the Watford man went out in search of a new voice in the corner.
      In steps Garcia, who has guided 14 different men to world titles throughout his legendary career as a trainer.
      Fighters he’s trained include former four-division champ and brother Mikey Garcia, Marcos Maidana, Jose Ramirez, Bam Rodriguez, Abner Mares, Nonito Donaire, Brandon Rios and Antonio Margarito.
      The Mexican was also a fighter himself, and won the IBF super-featherweight world title in 1998.

      Robert Garcia will be Anthony Joshua’s lead trainer in Saudi Arabia on August 20
      But in 2001, after a knockout loss to Joel Casamyaor, Garcia retired at the age of 26 and decided to focus on training.
      Garcia is known to be an offensive, Mexican-style, front-foot trainer, and will train the tactics plenty believe Joshua needs to beat an elusive southpaw like Usyk.
      The 47-year-old has said: “We’ll see who’s the better man. We’re going to do whatever it takes to win those titles back.
      “I know he can do it. He’s the bigger man, he’s the stronger man, he’s got the reach advantage, so we’re going to take advantage of all that.
      “Come that day, I think without a doubt, we’re going to have a three-time heavyweight champion of the world.” More

      Pulev’s last relevant bout was against Anthony Joshua in December 2020 but it ended in a 9th-round stoppage loss for the Bulgarian.
      Chisora fought Pulev in 2016 but came out narrowly on the losing on a split decision in Germany.
      Del Boy has been in the ring for 15 fights since then, while Pulev has fought just seven times since.
      And against Chisora, the former title challenger will have his hands full as the two fighters prepare to clash in London.

      “Derek is a difficult opponent. My fight against Joshua here in London, I was not prepared… no sparring, nothing. Before that I had Covid.

      Russia’s war on Ukraine, where Usyk is from, also had an impact on the rematch with Joshua being made.
      Usyk, 35, returned to his home country earlier this tear to join the fight against Russia, which began in February.
      But he’s now in training camp for the biggest fight of his life, but one that he knows he can win.
      Usyk outpointed and largely outclassed a game Joshua in front of 70,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September to win the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO world titles.

Joshua & Usyk refuse to blink first in face-off as Hearn awkwardly smiles
      Just like the Olympic gold medallist did after his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua wants to right his wrong by facing the Ukrainian in a rematch.
      Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told The Sun earlier this month that his client is ‘baffled’ by the tactics used last year, and hinted at a change of gameplan for the rematch.
      He said: “I was talking to him the other night and I think finally it’s baffled him why he fought like that.
      “For a long time, he still felt even when he lost that he could still beat Usyk like that. But why when you don’t need to fight like that?
      “He could fight in your old style and have a much better chance of beating him. Klitschko-style but Usyk is a tremendous fighter, a great counterpuncher.”
      Hearn added that AJ “needs to be a lot more aggressive” this time.
      The two sides spent months negotiating a money-spinning deal for AJ’s second fight in Saudi Arabia, having beaten Ruiz Jr on points in the oil-rich country in December 2019.
      Joshua will also have a new training team, with the experienced Robert Garcia leading his corner while Angel Fernandez plays second-in-command.
      When is Joshua vs Usyk 2?

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 will take place on Saturday, August 20.
      The fight is going to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
      Joshua last fought in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, with the fight beginning at 9pm UK time.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      The broadcaster for Joshua vs Usyk 2 has yet to be announced.
      It’s expected the fight will land on DAZN PPV in the UK, after Joshua left Sky Sports in a deal worth up to £100 million.
      It’s unclear how much a potential PPV will cost, with DAZN adding a pay-per-view arm to their model this year.

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 FULL CARD
      The Joshua vs Usyk 2 undercard has yet to be announced.
      It’s expected the Callum Smith will compete in Jeddah, however, just as he did on the first Joshua vs Usyk undercard.
      Keep up to date on SunSport for updates.
      Where will Joshua vs Usyk 2 take place?
      The venue for Joshua vs Uysk 2 has yet to be announced, but it’s expected the fight will be held at the Jeddah Super Dome.
      The 40,000-seater stadium is the largest geodesic dome in the world to stand without pillars, and hosted the WWE Elimination Chamber in February.
      Saudi Arabia has been a controversial host country, with the oil-rich nation accused of sportswashing after spending huge sums luring some of the world’s best golfers to their new LIV series.
      Hearn, however, has dismissed any such comparison. He said: “He is not worried about any backlash because he has done it before.
      “He will ultimately go, ‘Eddie over to you’. I am not going to pass the buck but it is very different when the deal is a 50/50 split. How can we go back to Usyk and say, ‘Let’s do it at Spurs’ because they will just say it is a non-starter.”
      What has been said?
      Both Joshua and Usyk met face-to-face for the first time since their clash last year at the press conference in Saudi Arabia.
      “The fight with Usyk, he bust my a** for some rounds,” Joshua quipped.
      “And I have to take that defeat like a man as well, I have to be accountable.
      “In the fight in September, I was wrong and he was right. Simply I have to reverse that role in August.
      “I don’t like to overcomplicate the situation, because there’s simplicity in genius. I’m just gonna keep things simple.”
      Usyk added: “As you all know, we are not in the best conditions at the moment back home.
      “I never made some very loud and bright speeches, all I did was just work hard in my training camp, my gym, that’s what I’m gonna do until the date of the fight.
      “Then I will enter the ring and I will make you happy with my boxing.”

      Who is Robert Garcia?
      Robert Garcia is Joshua’s new trainer, with AJ splitting from long-time coach Rob McCracken following his loss to Usyk last September.
      McCracken had led Joshua to Olympic gold at London 2012, his first world title in 2016, and the regaining of his belts in 2019.
      But the tactics Joshua used in the defeat to Usyk were widely panned, so the Watford man went out in search of a new voice in the corner.
      In steps Garcia, who has guided 14 different men to world titles throughout his legendary career as a trainer.
      Fighters he’s trained include former four-division champ and brother Mikey Garcia, Marcos Maidana, Jose Ramirez, Bam Rodriguez, Abner Mares, Nonito Donaire, Brandon Rios and Antonio Margarito.
      The Mexican was also a fighter himself, and won the IBF super-featherweight world title in 1998.

      Robert Garcia will be Anthony Joshua’s lead trainer in Saudi Arabia on August 20
      But in 2001, after a knockout loss to Joel Casamyaor, Garcia retired at the age of 26 and decided to focus on training.
      Garcia is known to be an offensive, Mexican-style, front-foot trainer, and will train the tactics plenty believe Joshua needs to beat an elusive southpaw like Usyk.
      The 47-year-old has said: “We’ll see who’s the better man. We’re going to do whatever it takes to win those titles back.
      “I know he can do it. He’s the bigger man, he’s the stronger man, he’s got the reach advantage, so we’re going to take advantage of all that.
      “Come that day, I think without a doubt, we’re going to have a three-time heavyweight champion of the world.” More

      And he is making his walk to Roy Jones classic, Can’t Be Touched.
      Juggernaut to 60
      Joyce says: “It’s good to be back in Wembley, Christian Hammer looks game and tough so I am looking forward to it.
      “For my whole career te top heavyweights have ducked me so I have to really earn my opportunity.
      “Hammer is a tough guy who has taken top guys the distance.
      “I will get Hammer out earlier than anyone else has and then I want a world title”.
      Hammer adds: “In my career I have met a lot of top boxers and this has helped me get very strong.
      Zolani army
      The two-weight world champ says: “I was so confident coming in and I wanted to fight so bad after the loss of my mother.
      “I did not want to hurt Jason, it was just the sport of boxing.
      “I thank him for the opportunity and he was a great champion.
      “This is one of my greatest achievements because it is the first time a South African has won a Commonwealth title”.
      Dedicated to Mrs Tete
      Zolani Tete lost his mum recently and his T-shirt is emblazoned with her photo.
      It was a booming left hand that first collapsed Cunningham.
      And when he bravely got to his feet, it was two hooks from ‘Firearm’ that ended the Englishman’s night and world title hopes.
      Iceman iced
      Cunningham has his team around him but he is moving and now he has sat up.
      The Doncaster man is taking oxygen on and is talking to his worried team.
      Tete can now enjoy a brilliant win.
      Cunningham boxed the wrong fight against a really dangerous man.
      Tete wins KO – R4
      Cunningham is floored in the first 30 seconds and battles back to his feet.
      The Brit beats the count but the he is assaulted and chinned viciously again.
      The Doncaster man cracks hus head on the canvas as he falls and it makes a sickening sound.
      Tete cools his celebrations as Cunningham remains down.
      Cunninghan vs Tete – R3
      Cunningham is definitely letting these early rounds slip by him.
      Tete yet to suffer a shot while the Commonwealth champ has eaten dozens of jabs one decent backhand.
      The former super-fly and bantamweight boss is now three rounds ahead.
      Team Cunningham must be hoping the veteran suffers from ring rust in the second half of the fight.
      Cunninghan vs Tete – R2
      Tete keeps pinging Cunningham’s head back with his faster jab.
      The Brit’s jab is doing no damage so far.
      Cunningham seems to be struggling against a fellow southaw, his first leftie opponent in seven years.
      Tete has not even thrown his fierce left hand but he has probably now banked a second round.
      Cunninghan vs Tete – R1
      Tete lands the better early jabs.
      And the 34-year-old African looks to have lost none of his speed.
      Cunningham makes a cautious start and the round slips by without major incident.
      This could catch fire at any time.
      Cunninghan vs Tete – R1
      Tete is a two-weight world champion with six UK wins on his record.
      But he has been out of the ring for 18 months whereas Cunningham has been busy.
      Cunningham’s Commonwealth title is on the line but the winner will also leap toward a workd title shot.
      Two southpaws usually spells stinker but these two look like gelling.
      Jason Cunningham vs Zolani Tete
      Chief support now between a couple of cracking super-bantams.
      Brit Cunningham looked finished in 2018 when he suffered his sixth career defeat.
      But the Doncaster southpaw has rebounded with seven wins on the spin and is now dreaming of a world title shot.
      Can ‘The Iceman’ keep his cool now and beat the 29-4 South African veteran?
      Re-Joyce
      Joe Joyce is backstage with trainer Ismael Salas practicing one particular power shot.
      The 36-year-old Putney Juggernaut is working on his left hook.
      If we see Hammer loop over a right hand – and Joyce roll under it – watch out for a piledriver from the lead left hand.
      Mark of a champion
      The Portsmouth winner says: “It feels great because he was a tough customer who has never been stopped.
      “I learned a lot in there and now I want to go on to bigger and better things.
      “I had him going a couple of times, I thought it maybe should have been stopped.”
      Mark Chamberlain wins UD
      The three ringside judges scored it: 100-90, 100-90 and 100-90.
      A total shut-out for the excellent Englishman who falls to his knees to celebrate.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R10
      Vidal takes a real pasting in the final minute.
      Chambo is already celebrating with his Pompey fans at ringside.
      Vidal’s mush has been a magnet for both of the tall southpaw’s powerful hands.
      But the proud Spaniard refused to buckle or bow.
      Bell goes and Chambo celebrates what should be a UD win.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R9
      Chambo banks another round handily.
      Vidal is proving himself a freakishly tough man and Chambo has gone through the gears.
      Early on Chamberlain was taking needless risks and he wisely stopped that.
      It’s been measured boxing and ruthlessly accurate punching from the Pompey man. Last stanza next.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R8
      Vidal is buzzed by another pinpoint Chambo blow.
      The Brit steps on the gas and unloads.
      Vidal is backed onto the ropes and struggling. But once again the Spaniard survives. Vidal is so tough.
      Chambo digs half a dozen into Vidal’s ribs but they don’t harm the visitor. Bell ends a violent one.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R7
      Chambo just racking uo rounds now as Vidal’s early threat dims.
      The Pompey man has stopped getting into danger and looks set for a points win.
      The 23-year-old will have learned plenty so far and will be a better fighter after tonight.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R6
      Vidal’s shots are getting more and more wild and Chamberlain is now well versed om telegraphing them.
      Chambo backs his prey bacl onto the ropes and drives another left hand into his face.
      Ref Bob Williams stops the action to warn Chamberlain over a churlish headbutt.
      Chambo vs Vidal – R5
      Vidal’s spirit is starting to fade, even if his chin isn’t.
      Chambo is in total control as long as Vidal doesn’t bore his way into range.
      A couple of piston-jabs tag Vidal’s face and then a southpaw left hand cracks him right on the bell.

      Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for heavyweight rematch

      by

      DEREK CHISORA is returning to heavyweight action next month against old foe Kubrat Pulev. The 38-year-old last fought back in December, losing by unanimous decision to Joseph Parker – which was his third loss in a row.

      Pulev’s last relevant bout was against Anthony Joshua in December 2020 but it ended in a 9th-round stoppage loss for the Bulgarian.
      Chisora fought Pulev in 2016 but came out narrowly on the losing on a split decision in Germany.
      Del Boy has been in the ring for 15 fights since then, while Pulev has fought just seven times since.
      And against Chisora, the former title challenger will have his hands full as the two fighters prepare to clash in London.

      Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel and undercard for heavyweight rematch

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Oleksandr Usyk’s hotly-anticipated rematch is NOW finally in the diary after months of speculation.Joshua and his Ukrainian counterpart had been due to do battle in May, and then July, but there were various hold-ups in negotiations which pushed the fight further back.

      Russia’s war on Ukraine, where Usyk is from, also had an impact on the rematch with Joshua being made.
      Usyk, 35, returned to his home country earlier this tear to join the fight against Russia, which began in February.
      But he’s now in training camp for the biggest fight of his life, but one that he knows he can win.
      Usyk outpointed and largely outclassed a game Joshua in front of 70,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September to win the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO world titles.

Joshua & Usyk refuse to blink first in face-off as Hearn awkwardly smiles
      Just like the Olympic gold medallist did after his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, Joshua wants to right his wrong by facing the Ukrainian in a rematch.
      Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told The Sun earlier this month that his client is ‘baffled’ by the tactics used last year, and hinted at a change of gameplan for the rematch.
      He said: “I was talking to him the other night and I think finally it’s baffled him why he fought like that.
      “For a long time, he still felt even when he lost that he could still beat Usyk like that. But why when you don’t need to fight like that?
      “He could fight in your old style and have a much better chance of beating him. Klitschko-style but Usyk is a tremendous fighter, a great counterpuncher.”
      Hearn added that AJ “needs to be a lot more aggressive” this time.
      The two sides spent months negotiating a money-spinning deal for AJ’s second fight in Saudi Arabia, having beaten Ruiz Jr on points in the oil-rich country in December 2019.
      Joshua will also have a new training team, with the experienced Robert Garcia leading his corner while Angel Fernandez plays second-in-command.
      When is Joshua vs Usyk 2?

      Joshua vs Usyk 2 will take place on Saturday, August 20.
      The fight is going to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
      Joshua last fought in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, with the fight beginning at 9pm UK time.

      🥊 AJ vs Usyk 2 date, live stream and TV channel for blockbuster rematch
      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      The broadcaster for Joshua vs Usyk 2 has yet to be announced.
      It’s expected the fight will land on DAZN PPV in the UK, after Joshua left Sky Sports in a deal worth up to £100 million.
      It’s unclear how much a potential PPV will cost, with DAZN adding a pay-per-view arm to their model this year.
      DAZN costs £7.99 to subscribe to in the UK, with subscribers given unrivalled access to a host of big names including Canelo Alvarez and Ryan Garcia.
      Stay tuned on SunSport for an official announcement on the broadcaster.

      Where will Joshua vs Usyk 2 take place?
      The venue for Joshua vs Uysk 2 has yet to be announced, but it’s expected the fight will be held at the Jeddah Super Dome.
      The 40,000-seater stadium is the largest geodesic dome in the world to stand without pillars, and hosted the WWE Elimination Chamber in February.
      Saudi Arabia has been a controversial host country, with the oil-rich nation accused of sportswashing after spending huge sums luring some of the world’s best golfers to their new LIV series.
      Hearn, however, has dismissed any such comparison. He said: “He is not worried about any backlash because he has done it before.
      “He will ultimately go, ‘Eddie over to you’. I am not going to pass the buck but it is very different when the deal is a 50/50 split. How can we go back to Usyk and say, ‘Let’s do it at Spurs’ because they will just say it is a non-starter.”
      What has been said?
      Both Joshua and Usyk met face-to-face for the first time since their clash last year at the press conference in Saudi Arabia.
      “The fight with Usyk, he bust my a** for some rounds,” Joshua quipped.
      “And I have to take that defeat like a man as well, I have to be accountable.
      “In the fight in September, I was wrong and he was right. Simply I have to reverse that role in August.
      “I don’t like to overcomplicate the situation, because there’s simplicity in genius. I’m just gonna keep things simple.”
      Usyk added: “As you all know, we are not in the best conditions at the moment back home.
      “I never made some very loud and bright speeches, all I did was just work hard in my training camp, my gym, that’s what I’m gonna do until the date of the fight.
      “Then I will enter the ring and I will make you happy with my boxing.”

      Who is Robert Garcia?
      Robert Garcia is Joshua’s new trainer, with AJ splitting from long-time coach Rob McCracken following his loss to Usyk last September.
      McCracken had led Joshua to Olympic gold at London 2012, his first world title in 2016, and the regaining of his belts in 2019.
      But the tactics Joshua used in the defeat to Usyk were widely panned, so the Watford man went out in search of a new voice in the corner.
      In steps Garcia, who has guided 14 different men to world titles throughout his legendary career as a trainer.
      Fighters he’s trained include former four-division champ and brother Mikey Garcia, Marcos Maidana, Jose Ramirez, Bam Rodriguez, Abner Mares, Nonito Donaire, Brandon Rios and Antonio Margarito.
      The Mexican was also a fighter himself, and won the IBF super-featherweight world title in 1998.

      Robert Garcia will be Anthony Joshua’s lead trainer in Saudi Arabia on August 20
      But in 2001, after a knockout loss to Joel Casamyaor, Garcia retired at the age of 26 and decided to focus on training.
      Garcia is known to be an offensive, Mexican-style, front-foot trainer, and will train the tactics plenty believe Joshua needs to beat an elusive southpaw like Usyk.
      The 47-year-old has said: “We’ll see who’s the better man. We’re going to do whatever it takes to win those titles back.
      “I know he can do it. He’s the bigger man, he’s the stronger man, he’s got the reach advantage, so we’re going to take advantage of all that.
      “Come that day, I think without a doubt, we’re going to have a three-time heavyweight champion of the world.” More
