Oleksandr Usyk adviser on whether Anthony Joshua will have Ukrainian in his corner vs Jake Paul

Anthony Joshua is not expected to have Oleksandr Usyk in his corner for December’s fight with Jake Paul, but the Ukrainian icon could be present for future bouts, according to one of his advisers.

On 19 December, Joshua will fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in a professional contest in Miami. The heavyweight fight is scheduled for eight three-minute rounds in standard 10oz gloves, with knockouts allowed. Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion, will be capped at 245lb the day before the fight, but there is no rehydration clause.
