Usyk Cheers Joshua's Gym Return Amid Grief
16 Apr
Summary
- Oleksandr Usyk supported Anthony Joshua's gym return after personal tragedy.
- Joshua is expected to return to full training within two weeks.
- Usyk sees Joshua as a 'machine' and backs him to win future fights.
Oleksandr Usyk offered heartfelt encouragement to Anthony Joshua during his return to gym training, four months after a tragic car accident claimed the lives of two of Joshua's close friends and team members. Joshua is anticipated to resume full training within the next two weeks, with support from Usyk playing a significant role.
Joshua has been training at Usyk's camp in Gandia, Spain, a secluded location ideal for focused preparation. Promoter Eddie Hearn described seeing Usyk cheering Joshua on during intense workouts as 'unbelievable.' This collaboration follows Joshua's earlier assistance to Usyk before his fight against Jake Paul.
Usyk's family has also embraced Joshua, with his sons frequently asking to play with the British boxer. Despite considering both Tyson Fury and Joshua friends, Usyk publicly backs Joshua, whom he now refers to as a 'machine' and believes in his ability to win should they ever meet in the ring.
