British heavyweight prospect Isaac Chamberlain says Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) has punching power and Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) in a rematch on August 20th can’t just start pushing the Ukrainian in an attempt to take down -quick because it will make him too open for WBA/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion counters.
Chamberlain is one of Usyk’s sparring partners who knows what he’s talking about. He believes that 32-year-old Joshua needs to rely on smart pressing to win, and not blindly hacking.
“AJ has to come up with the right plan for the fight. He must be very fierce, very strong,” Isaac said.
Sky Sports. – Everyone says that Usyk needs to be “crushed”, but the fact is that Usyk is also strong. He may have been heavy, but he’s got up a long time ago and he’s got punch. So leaning in and just trying to crush him doesn’t make sense. Blows will fly towards.

Chamberlain’s advice to a compatriot is both simple and complex for the recipient: “Finty and use sideways movements. When up close, be a lot rougher than usual.”
In general, Joshua does not like where he ended up because of Usyk. Yesterday also a British analyst found an important factor in Joshua’s preparation for Usyk, compared with Ali. Yes, and Usyk himself called the lack of Anthony Joshua.
