Tyson Fury, Usyk's sparring partner says Joshua will be battered in next month's rematch

World Champion Tyson Fury is adamant Oleksandr Usyk will 'batter' Nigeria-born former heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua next month in Jeddah but reiterated he will fight the challenger for free at Wembley should he get revenge on the Ukrainian.

The Gypsy King announced his retirement from boxing in April after successfully defending his WBC heavyweight title against Dillian Whyte at Wembley, but has since flirted with one final rodeo.

Keeping fans guessing, he revealed last month that he would be open to a comeback bout against Joshua for a fee of £500million, before stating that he would fight him for free in England at his After Party tour at the Stockton Globe last week.

He said: 'I'd train him to beat Usyk very easy, but he doesn't want my help because I would definitely train him to win and he obviously don't wanna win.

'Not for hundreds of millions abroad in a foreign country, here, in the UK. Free-to-air TV, free tickets, sell out Wembley.

'It'll be watched by 30 million people for free. No PPV. No money earned. We do this one for the fans of the UK.

'Let's see who's the real man of the people.

'I know I am, that's why I'm willing to do it for free in the UK, but he will not wanna do that, he'll wanna travel abroad because he's a businessman.”’.

World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk says he is fighting for his country, Ukraine and that he is inspired by the people defending his homeland

Oleksandr Usyk is looking "dangerous" in camp as he spars ferociously hard for his August 20 rematch with Anthony Joshua, one of his training partners has revealed.

Kazakh heavyweight Nursultan Amanzholov had sparred Usyk ahead of his first fight with Joshua and was recalled to his team to help prepare the champion for the rematch in Saudi Arabia next month.

"He [Amanzholov] says there are days when Usyk goes to war with him. It's not easy to hurt to Nursultan but he's been on the receiving end a few times. But a lot of his heavyweights have been sent back home, if they can't stay in camp," Ali said. "They can't keep up."

The Kazakh prospect has been training in Dubai with Usyk since June for this fight. "He says [Usyk] is in tremendous shape for this camp," Amanzholov's manager said.

"He said as soon as [Usyk] came back from Jeddah, from the press conference, the day he arrived back, he phoned up Nursultan who was sitting in his hotel and said to him, 'I want you sparring today.' Literally got off the plane and started sparring straightaway and [Amanzholov] said he was in a foul mood. He was in a really angry mood, wanted to go to war.’’

The Kazakh was a seasoned amateur before he turned professional and is durable. He's sparred heavy punchers before. "He took every shot in the book from (Daniel) Dubois, every shot in the book and didn't move," Ali said. "His feet, for a guy that big, are amazing.

"He's had over 300 amateur fights so he's a really, really tough kid. [He can take] a lot of punishment."
