Jake Paul v Anthony Joshua RECAP as AJ turns to Usyk camp to prepare for 'colossal' Netflix fight

Anthony Joshua is leaving nothing to chance ahead of his comeback bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami next month.

The 36-year-old, who has not fought since his devasting knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September last year, has linked up with the team behind reigning world champion Oleksandr Usyk to prepare for the eight-round contest on December 19.

At a press conference in the US to launch the fight, Joshua revealed the split from his regular trainer Ben Davison, who last week told Boxing News Online that the contest was “not good for boxing”.

Joshua said: “I was invited to train with Team Usyk.

“He’s one of the best in the world, and it’s not all down to him. It’s also down to the team that’s around him, so I’ve linked up with them and got a great insight into someone who has achieved so much.

“It’s been a great experience and it’s very challenging.”

Joshua, who was twice outpointed by Usyk in 2021 and 2022, shrugged off criticism of the contest, for which he is contractually obliged not to weigh in at more than 245lbs – still likely to be enough to see him out-weigh his opponent by over two stones.
