Anthony Joshua told what he must do to beat Oleksandr Usyk in rematch with Brit needing to ‘be a bit of a bully’

Carl Frampton says that Anthony Joshua must be a 'bully" if he is to beat Oleksandr Usyk later in the month.

Joshua, 35, and Usyk (32), will rematch their highly anticipated fight on August 27, less than a year after Usyk defeated the Brit to win the WBA, WBO, and IBF championship belts.

Usyk won his first bout

Although Usyk won unanimously the first bout with Joshua, many expect Joshua to return with a different attitude.

Frampton, a former featherweight champion believes that Frampton will be a major threat to his opponent if he uses both his size and his power to 'bully’ his opponent.

Sky Sports was informed by him that "a lot of people are saying Usyk [wins]" and it would not be difficult to disagree.

It seems like it will be a tough fight for both men, but we know what Joshua must do to beat Usyk. He needs to use his strength and size to bully.

Frampton believes that AJ should be a ringbully

"But what worries me most is that Joshua doesn't have the ability to do this for long.

"He can't fight at high speed and push people around, and get closer to them for long fights.

He needs to be able to complete it in short bursts. I believe that if he is having a round where he expends a lot of energy, then he must take off the next round.

"It's because of his size and his build, as well as his make-up.

"But I believe he must get in close. He has to use roughhouse tactics to impose his power.

"A little like [Wladimir] Klitschko used be able do, hit people and push them down, and just tire them out.

"But it is whether he can or not."

Joshua has appointed Robert Garcia as his "bad boy coach" ahead of the life-altering bout that will see him reclaim his titles.

Frazer Clarke, Frazer Clarke's training partner, believes that the new trainer has taken the "bad guy out of AJ."

He stated that he felt like Joshua was a nice man. He was a bad person. Robert Garcia did a good job.

He pulled out all the stops to win this fight. He has brought it out of himself."
