Anthony Joshua says he had to make some changes before he trains with new coaches for the crunch Usyk match.

ANTHONY JOSHUA admitted that he had to make some changes to his team after his defeat to Oleksandr Uzyk.

AJ saw the unified heavyweight titles ripped out of their grasp by the slick southpaw during their September showdown at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Joshua, 32, sought out the assistance of coaches in America to prepare for a do or die rematch against the Ukrainian. He believes that a shift in approach is long overdue.

Watford's warrior declared: "I had no choice but to make changes.

"If you do the same thing, you will get the same results." "I have to take responsibility for myself.

Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, is still furious at the way he approached his Tottenham brawl with the shrewd Usk.

According to him, "I am angry at myself. The only way I can get in a better position is to go out and perform."

"It will be like this for a few more months.

"I smile when I do something, but underneath that there is a lot tension. Training and performing are the best ways to release it."

Joshua has been igniting a fire in the wake of Usyk's defeat - which could have halted a multimillion-pound Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury.

He said, "I know that I can do better than that night."

"It's easier for me to say than to do, but in my heart, soul, brain, and body, it's clear that I have a lot to offer.

"I'm angry. It's growing but it's fuelling my every day.

SunSport believes Joshua has a chance to redeem himself and become a three-time heavyweight champion. This is expected to happen in late March.

The bruising Brit admitted that it was not easy to finalize the rematch.

He said, "When that fight occurs. There have been many hurdles.

"I cannot keep chasing after what is not in front me."

"What's next for me is to be three-time heavyweight champion in the world, and that's my motivation."
