Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has been assisting Anthony Joshua with his preparation for a potential bout against Tyson Fury.

Oleksandr Usyk, the unified heavyweight champion, has been actively helping Anthony Joshua develop a gameplan for a potential all-British showdown against Tyson Fury, according to BBC Sport. The two former rivals have put their 2021 and 2022 fights behind them to work together on strategic preparations for what could be the biggest heavyweight clash in British boxing history.

Usyk defeated Joshua in their two encounters, winning in 2021 and then again in a closely contested rematch in 2022. Despite being the victor in their matchups, the Ukrainian boxer has expressed confidence that Joshua can defeat Fury and has offered his expertise to help make it happen. The collaboration between the two former opponents demonstrates a level of sportsmanship and mutual respect within the heavyweight division.

Fury remains the WBC heavyweight champion and has been linked to various potential opponents. An all-British bout with Joshua would be one of the most anticipated fights in recent boxing history, pitting two of Britain's biggest heavyweight names against each other. With Usyk's tactical insight now part of Joshua's preparation, the potential Fury showdown continues to generate significant interest in the boxing world.
