Tyson also spoke out against Joshua, insisting that he is not a walkover ahead his fight with Usyk.
He said, "Anthony Joshua is no walkover." It's just that, for some reason, which I don't understand, we expect a lot of Joshua.
"I think it's because the English are so behind him that we also got on board with the bandwagon.
"Americans expect much from Joshua."
He said, "He can do so many, that's why there's never a loss of hope." Joshua is dangerous because he's still learning.
"Joshua should pick up the pace a bit. He has so much potential."
