Joshua’s recorded stunning victories after losing consecutively to Usyk in 2021 and 2022, which saw him surrender his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles.

Since then he has won four consecutive fights against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou.

“Everything changes after every fight, but I think I’ve never seen him enjoy boxing so much,” he said.

“The preparation, the team. It’s simple but effective. I think he’s really found his rhythm with Ben [Davison] and the camp there.

“And I think if you look back after the Oleksandr Usyk fights you might have said, ‘How many more fights? Three? Five?’
