ANTHONY JOSHUA can resurrect a career the same way Wladimir Klichko did, by moving his training camp to America.

This is Bernd Bonte's expert opinion on Klitschko's former manager, who helped to put together the heavyweight and legendary coach Emanuel Steward.

Emanuel Steward & Wladimir Klitschko

After losing to Ross Puritty and Corrie Sanders, the Ukrainian looked down and out.

Steward, a member of the famed Kronk gym in Detroit led Klitschko to a nine year reign in the blue-ribband division.

Bonte, who was on a summer vacation training Stateside and needed some inspiration, knows how a change in scenery can make a difference.

According to Vegas Insider, he said that "When Emanuel called me and set up a meeting between him, Wladimir and me, the rest is history, as we both know."

"With Emanuel’s support, his diverse tactics, and his close relationship, Wladimir returned stronger than ever before.

"And then he was undefeated almost ten years later." AJ can do it too."

Bonte was there to watch as Joshua, 32 sent Klitschko (45) into retirement after an 11-round thriller.

AJ had to stand up, take his gumshield off and sometimes beat his mentor to the ground.

Fast forward four years, and Joshua, 34, was able to win against Klitschko's compatriot Oleksandr Usyk.

He was outclassed by the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles.

Bonte has urged AJ, in order to take revenge and win back the belts, to be tough and rough, just like he did against Klitschko, in that classic modern in front of 90,000.

Bonte stated: "AJ must fight like the big dog. He has to."

"I mean, he is the bigger puncher, taller, and he's 17-stone. He has to fight like a big dog and put pressure onto Usyk.

It's difficult because the guy is a flexible and good counter boxer. But AJ can let his jab go and throw more combinations and more right hand and put more pressure on himself, taking a higher risk and having a better chance of winning that fight.

He was too hesitant and in the rematch, he must go all in. It's all or nothing. He must take greater risks.

"One thing is certain, Usyk can get into his rhythm and it will be hard for him to beat so you need to avoid that. What you should do is pressure him and put pressure on him. It's still a difficult fight.

"I believe AJ wins that fight, and the rematch. My gut tells me that AJ will come back stronger and win that fight. Either a knockout or points.
