Anthony Joshua being prepared to KO Oleksandr Usyk in rematch by new trainer

Anthony Joshua is being prepared to try and knock out Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch this summer.

Joshua, 32, will get a chance at immediate redemption later this year, when he is set to face Usyk, 35, in a lucrative second meeting. The Briton was outpointed in his title defence last September and was heavily criticised for his approach to try and outbox the ex-cruiserweight king.

The former two-time heavyweight champion will be trained by Robert Garcia and previous coach Angel Fernandez for the money-spinning sequel. And Garcia has suggested that Joshua is capable of winning over the 12-round distance despite last year's result.
