      The Dutchman witnessed his new side lose at home to Brighton, before being humiliated by Brentford on the road; two results which have sunk United to the bottom of the table.

      And salt was rubbed into the wounds when the Liverpool boss watched his £85 million summer signing get sent off for a brutal headbutt on Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen.
      But both English giants have a huge chance to put those horror shows behind them in what is already being labelled a six pointer.

      Usyk said: “It’s my daughter’s. She gave it to me to be my talisman. We bought it when we were all together in Disneyland Paris.

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Oleksandr Usyk finally face off this weekend in their huge rematch in Saudi Arabia.But before fight night, the pair will tip the scales with defending champion Usyk looking to have bulked up considerably from the first fight.
      Anthony Joshua is gearing up for the big rematch
      Last time out, in September 2021, there was over a STONE of difference between the pair with AJ weighing in at 17st 2bs to Usyk’s 15st 8lbs.
      But this time Usyk could weigh over 16st.
      According to trainer Dave Coldwell, who coached Tony Bellew against the heavyweight champion, this is the wrong approach to take.
      Coldwell said: “From an Usyk point of view, I get that he is going to be more aggressive and look to land bigger shots but with his mobility and speed being his two greatest assets they will take a hit.
      Read on AJ vs Usyk
      “It’s going to slow him down, if you’re losing speed, you’re giving more options to be hit and not only that I believe that AJ really needs to focus on going to Usyk’s body to take away his legs.”

      How much is Usyk getting for Joshua rematch?
      Joshua and Usyk reportedly completed the biggest ever site deal, with Saudi Arabia agreeing to pay £65m to stage the fight.
      That outstripped the £50m the Saudis paid for Joshua’s rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
      However, AJ is not set to earn as much as he did from the Ruiz bout because the purse is being split 50/50 with Usyk.
      Get Anthony Joshua at 40/1 OR Oleksandr Usyk at 25/1 to win with William Hill
      Joshua’s first fight with Ruiz was a voluntary defence, and therefore his team were able to insert a mandatory rematch clause giving him the bulk of the prize money even after he lost the first fight in Vegas.
      Usyk was a mandatory challenger however, and agreed to insert a rematch clause only if the second purse was evenly split.
