Derek Chisora claims he showed Anthony Joshua the 'blueprint to beat Oleksandr Usyk' | The Sun

DEREK CHISORA claims he knows the blueprint for how to beat Oleksandr Usyk – and shared it with Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.

The British boxer took on the Ukranian in 2020 but lost by unanimous decision with two close scores.

The judges on the night scored the fight 117-112, 115-113 and 115-113 in favour of Usyk.

Usyk then went on to beat both Dubois and AJ, claiming the WBA, WBO and IBF titles from the latter, who he also beat in a rematch.

Chisora, 39, has now revealed that he tried to help his compatriots against Usyk, only for them to struggle to put the plan into action against the brilliant technician.

Speaking on Up Front with Simon Jordan, he said: "I showed everybody the blueprint, but people chose not to be the way I was."

Chisora has revealed what that advice was, adding: “Be fit, use your size, that was it. I went to AJ I was like ‘make sure you do this after sparring,’ he didn’t do it.

"I said the same thing to Daniel Dubois, he didn’t do it.

"The thing is with Usyk, when he starts moving his hand up and down, you’re in trouble.

However, it has been reported that the bout is at risk of being pushed back.
