Okolie, who beat Dilan Prsovic on the same deck, believes Joshua can win in his rematch against Usyk.

He'll need to learn from Tyson Fury's recent win over Deontay wilder.

According to the Mail, the 28-year old said that he was there with a world-class fighter and a generational talent.

It's more than you doing what you do. You are not alone. There is someone else trying to stop you from doing that.

"AJ has a lot of things he can do to change the look and feel of the fight, and I believe he will.

"But, in terms of his performance and it wasn’t good enough on that day.

"You can't help but say Usyk was fantastic that night, and AJ must work on certain aspects to match that style.

"As you saw in Fury and Wilder's fights, Wilder is an extraordinary fighter, a phenomenal puncher.

Fury said, "But Fury decided that I was 277-pounds, and I'm going tell you."

"He pushed him back. He rallied through the tough rounds, ground him down, and got the stoppage." I believe AJ can do the same.

Okolie is confident that Joshua will overcome Usyk in battle again in spring.

He said: "Officially, AJ is a skilled boxer, but Usyk's a very talented boxer.

"Nine of the ten heavyweights won't try to box Usyk. They're going in there and saying 'I'm a natural heavyweight. Let me show you.

"AJ is capable of that. He has the boxing skills to do it.

He relied too heavily on his boxing abilities, and sometimes it's important to remember that boxing is a contact sport. So go in there and make contact."
