EDDIE HEARN urged Anthony Joshua not to use a boxing textbook and to try to beat Oleksandr Uzyk in their rematch.
The promoter announced that the heavyweight duo will be fighting again in August 20th in Saudi Arabia. This is almost one year after Usyk's 12-round victory.
Hearn was among many who watched in confusion as AJ attempted to beat the unbeaten Ukrainian at Tottenham’s stadium last September.
He has instructed Joshua, 32 to make use of every inch of his weight and height advantage to defeat Usyk, 35.
Sporting News Australia spoke with Hearn: "He has to be himself and not think too technical and start boxing.
"He has to use his talents and go in. He is a speedy and powerful man. He must get Usyk out of his way."

He said, "It's more than being reckless and diving into.
"But he's got the ability to think for himself, take out the ring and, if he has any chance of winning, give it to him. Put puts him in the fight early.
"Usyk won't be able stand up against the power of Anthony Joshua if it keeps putting pressure on him."
"But the first half of this fight is going to really be important that he can either get out of there, or put a nice dent into him to slow him down, and take him out his rhythm."
