Anthony Joshua told "his chin is gone" ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch

Anthony Joshua has been told his heart isn't in boxing anymore and his chin has deteriorated ahead of the Brit's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua second encounter with Usyk was officially announced for August 20, with the fight taking place at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. The rematch is being dubbed 'Rage on the Red Sea' as Usyk looks to defend the world titles he won against Joshua last September.

With the rematch now less than two months away, Joshua has been told by domestic rival Joe Joyce it will take a "miracle" for him to avenge his loss against Usyk. Joyce thinks his compatriot is a shell of his former self and has little chance of glory.
