Anthony Joshua "has all the beatings" of Oleksandr Uzyk, as July deadline draws near

ANTHONY JOSHUA "has all of the beatings" Oleksandr Usyk before their high-stakes rematch.

Joshua was defeated by the unbeaten Ukranian in their Tottenham tussle last Sept., when he foolishly attempted to outbox the smooth southpaw.

Johnny Nelson, a former undisputed champion at cruiserweight believes that AJ has what it takes to be a three-time heavyweight champion.

Planet Sport was told by he: "It's a tough fight, I think it will be a more difficult rematch for AJ than Ruiz rematch.

"It's not impossible to ask. I think AJ has had all the beatings of Usyk.

"I have seen Usyk since the beginning, seven fights in as an amateur and I believe this young man to be the heir apparent.

"The problem with this is that once everyone knows you and what you can accomplish, they can create a plan for your success.

"AJ now just needs to change his tactics, style, and intentions about what he wants to accomplish in the fight.

"So, I don’t know which tactics he’ll choose. But, what I’m saying is that it’s not impossible for AJ to do it, but it’s a difficult one."

Joshua, 32, regretted his decision to outbox London 2012 Olympian, and plans to "back to basics" in their second showdown.

He stated, "The goal is to get back to basics and aim for the knockout."

"I feel that when I fight or spar with people, their spirit is actually dampened."

"Honestly, if you look at someone directly in their eyes, and watch their body closely, you can see how they are slowly losing their strength.

"The art of boxing is not to get hit, but to hit. You're better off boxing to stay away. This is not my style.

"My style is to get up close with people and make it difficult for them." That's my game plan.
