OLEKSANDRUSYK will be training with Deontay Wilder’s coach Malik Scott in preparation for his rematch against Anthony Joshua.
Scott defeated Tyson Fury in the American's epic trilogy fight against Scott last October.
Oleksandr Usyk & Malik Scott used to spar together
Former heavyweight champion is also a sparring partner of Usyk, who now coaches Gerald Washington.
Washington, who is 40, is currently sparring with Usyk (35), meaning that Scott is overseeing the sessions.
He wrote on Instagram: "PSA": He was in Dubai, UAE training with heavyweight champions Alexander Usyk and Gerald Washington, as well as other future champions.
Scott, 41, was widely recognized for his work with Wilder (36), which helped reform Wilder's style.
However, the former WBC champion was floored three more times and knocked out. Some believe that Scott's work with Usyk will be beneficial to Joshua.
One said: "Malik Scott training Usyk. This is great news for AJ fans.
Another tweet: "Usyk brought me in!" That's interesting."
One more: "Malik Scott is in camp with Usyk to fight for the AJ?"
Joshua, 32, was defeated last September, but he will be rematched in Saudi Arabia on August 20th.
AJ was warned that he could be in trouble by Usyk sparring with Nursultan Amanzholov (29), and AJ.
Sky Sports spoke to Aamir Ali, Amanzholov’s manager: "He [Amanzholov] said there are days when Usyk goes into war with him.
"It's hard to hurt Nursultan, but he's been there a few times."
"But many of his heavyweights were sent home, if not able to stay in camp. They are unable to keep up.
"He said that [Usyk] is in great shape for this camp.
"He said that as soon as [Usyk] returned from Jeddah from the press conference the day before, he called up Nursultan, who was still sitting in his hotel, and asked him, 'I want to sparring today.'
"Literally got off of the plane and began sparring immediately and [Amanzholov] stated that he was in a bad mood.
"He was really angry and wanted to go to war. Anthony Joshua is in trouble
