Anthony Joshua's new trainer explains why Brit has advantage over Oleksandr Usyk

Anthony Joshua has every physical advantage over Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch, and will know how to use them, according to new coach Robert Garcia.

The Brit holds a four-inch reach advantage and is three inches taller than his Ukrainian rival, and has been known to weigh in around two-stone heavier. But he opted not to take advantage of those many differences when the pair fought last year, instead sticking to a gameplan in which he attempted to outbox Usyk.

But with a new trainer in the legendary American Garcia, Joshua is expected to change things up drastically for his effort to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. The pair linked up in December, and Garcia has now moved to London to complete the Brit's camp.
