"We didn't know where the rematch was going to be, whether it was in the UK, we had no problem basing ourselves out in America doing a camp." Like 'are you willing to do this or do that'. "The team planned to take him out there, they knew what they wanted to do, it was more or less an interviewing process but what was great was a lot of the coaches were throwing things back at him as well that we probably hadn't thought of. "So I think it was definitely something that took him out of his comfort zone.

"When you look at it, everything since turning professional has come to him, apart from the trip to (Wladimir) Klitschko's camp," admitted 'KD'. The man to topple Fury? 'Usyk brings problems he hasn't seen'.As Shields noted shortly after, Joshua had set out to be a 'dog' in the rematch. America was about stripping everything back, reigniting the grit of his win over Dillian Whyte and the unrelenting mindset of his win over Klitschko. The box-over-bang approach to try and match Usyk's shiftiness was flawed and Joshua was willing to admit as much in each conversation. Joshua and his team travelled to California to meet with Virgil Hunter, the man instrumental in steering Andre Ward to light-heavyweight unification he sought time with Ronnie Shields in Texas to test the waters with a man that previously worked with Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, and who had guided Jermall Charlo to middleweight glory he stepped into the world of Canelo Alvarez to pick the great boxing mind of Eddy Reynoso. We ran through a few options off the head we could think of, he did his own research.Īdam Smith says that Anthony Joshua has to take risks against Oleksander Usyk with everything on the line. The next day we sat down with Eddie (Hearn) and he expressed that. "He's a creature of habit, he enjoys doing things consistently with the same people, but it got to that point where it felt like this was the only option in order to get a different result. He just wanted to add some more things to the arsenal, I don't think he wanted complete change. "You saw that for the second fight with Ruiz when he brought Angel (Fernandes) and Joby (Clayton) into the camp. "I think if we're going to be completely honest with ourselves Anthony had been searching for something to add to what he was already doing," 'KD' added.
He parted with McCracken, envisioned extensions to the blueprint and headed Stateside to renovate, all in view of reaching the moustached-itch he had failed to scratch first time around. He had aced the chase here was the tougher test of permanence. It was no different post-Usyk, only this time the inquest proved the edge-tipper Joshua was perhaps due. "I think in all honesty, from him there was no blame, which there never has been so it was just a bit of soul searching, finding solutions and figuring out what he could do differently and just listening to various different things and figuring out what his next step should be," Joshua's training camp manager David 'KD' Ghansa told Sky Sports.īook Usyk-Joshua 2 if you're not a Sky customer
