Anthony Joshua's sparring partner explains training for Oleksandr Usyk rematch

Anthony Joshua has been working with Irish heavyweight prospect Thomas Carty who has been trying to replicate Oleksandr Usyk's style in sparring.

Joshua has flown out to Saudi Arabia with exactly one week to go until his huge heavyweight rematch with Usyk at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. 'AJ' has been working hard for several months on a detailed revenge plan after being dominated by Usyk who grabbed his unified crown last September.

He has been training alongside a number of fighters at his new Loughborough University including Frazer Clarke and Carty, with the latter sparring with the former two-time champion. And the Irishman believes he has learned a great deal to use in his own career with the high levels of preparation Joshua has shown during camp.
