“I am very proud to be the new champion but I mostly focus on just living my life and continuing to train hard in the gym in anticipation of the rematch.”
While Usyk seems happy with life as a heavyweight champion, Joshua has himself been searching for answers as to how he can up his game ahead of their second meeting.
The Londoner has spent time in the United States, meeting with world-renowned trainers to “get some new teachings”.
It has also added to speculation that Joshua is looking to make changes to his corner, as he did after his shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
Coach Rob McCracken is rumoured to be the one in the firing line, while the fighter has admitted he feels those in his corner have to improve the way they work together.
