Former undisputed boxing world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has given Anthony Joshua his advice on how to beat Tyson Fury in their anticipated all-British superfight later this year.

New footage released on X shows the Ukrainian advising the British heavyweight on how best to make such a fight go in his favour.

In the footage, which shows the pair training in the same gym, Usyk says that Fury often backs up into the corner in early rounds so opponents advance, and that he then uses his long reach to land counter punches. Usyk says he was expecting this game plan in their fight and that it is best to wait until after the sixth round to advance, when Fury tires and loses his speed.

Joshua may be wise to listen to the man they call “The Cat.” Usyk beat The Gypsy King two times via decision, one a split and one unanimous, and he has an undefeated professional boxing record of 25-0. Usyk is also the only man in the four-belt era to become the undisputed heavyweight champion when he beat Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia in May 2024.

Both British fighters are scheduled to fight this weekend as they work towards that November date.

Anthony Joshua will face Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga on Saturday at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia, while Fury will fight Poland’s Mariusz Wach in Thailand today for the inaugural WBC Metta Humanitarian Belt.

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury Failed Fights

Fury and Joshua had agreed to fight in 2021, even signing a deal, but the bout fell through as the former was ordered to complete a trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder.

Fury has recently, though, cast doubt on the match-up, suggesting the bout may yet still collapse and that he is prepared to fight somebody else if it was necessary.

The remarks from The Gypsy King drew fierce criticism from Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, who said that Fury is, in fact, the more likely to pull out and that it was he that pulled out of the failed 2021 fight.

“Check the facts, check the resume. If you really want to pick one fighter who’s more reliable than the other, I don’t think it’s a close-run race,” Hearn said.

“He’s got the most solid resume and the most professional attitude of any fighter I’ve ever worked with. Can we say the same about Tyson Fury? No. That’s the reality of the situation,” he added.

Benjamin Sesko has left his Manchester United teammates astonished by his body transformation as he prepares for his sophomore season at Old Trafford.

The Slovenian striker joined United from RB Leipzig last summer for £74 million, and a promising campaign enthused fans. He found the back of the net 11 times in 30 Premier League games.

A 3-2 win over Liverpool proved to be his final game of the season after a collision with Ibrahima Konate. He was sent tumbling into the advertising boards and missed the Red Devils’ three final matches.

Sesko Transformation Wows Man Utd Teammates

The incident with Konate worsened a pre-existing shin injury, which prevented him from appearing in a 1-0 loss to Wrexham in pre-season. But he has been working hard behind-the-scenes, particularly in the gym where he has bulked up to ensure he can battle it out with the top-flight’s toughest defenders.

United fans were stunned when Sesko posted a snap of himself in training showing just how much stronger he looks. While he already had a tall frame, he looks transformed as he works to return to full fitness.

Sesko captioned his Instagram post with a message to fans: “Getting there.”

Sesko’s body transformation hasn’t only impressed fans, but his teammates are also wowed. Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot were among those to respond in the comments section of the Instagram post.

Fernandes wrote: “Brateeee” and included a bicep emoticon while Dalot even mentioned American bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and wrote: “@schwarzenegger you’re his inspiration (bicep and love emoticons) my brate is stronnnng.”

Brate is a Serbian phrase that translates to ‘brother’ or ‘bro’ and Sesko is clearly a popular figure in the United dressing room. That said, his defensive teammates might not be too happy to come up against him in training as Michael Carrick prepares for the new season with a striker clearly physically and mentally ready to go to war.

Sesko won’t be involved in the Red Devils’ friendly against Norweigan outfit Rosenborg in Norway today (July 24th). He’s remained at Carrington to continue working on building his fitness.

‘I’m Always Active’ – Sesko’s Diet and Routine

Sesko has followed a healthy protein diet during his career and an article on former club Leipzig’s website (via The Sun) detailed his usual daily menu. His breakfast includes four fried eggs, yoghurt with berries, muesli and freshly-squeezed fruit juice.

On the menu for lunch is chicken, rice and mixed vegetables, including carrots and broccoli, with two slices of bread, followed by a fruit salad featuring mango, watermelon and pineapple. He then refuels with a protein shake and a couple of energy balls and a muesli ball.

Sesko often prefers salmon with mashed potatoes and a tomato and cucumber salad for dinner. He has more museli to finish the day but with the inclusion of some quark cheese, cashew nuts, kiwi fruit and blueberries.

The Red Devils frontman touched on his usual routine when speaking to United’s club media last season:

“It’s always kind of my routine to always keep it up, especially when I have a day off, as I try to enjoy it as much as possible. So I’ll get my coffee, and then I’m big on doing visualisations and meditations. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years – it just became my daily routine.”

He added: “Then I’ll probably go for some treatment and gym work, if possible. I like to enjoy my day off. I like to play basketball and try to find ways to play a little bit, and get active. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t like to stay in one place for too long, so I’m always active.”

Sesko sat out the World Cup due to Slovenia’s failure to qualify for the tournament, and his focus has been on ensuring he’s ready for the 2026-27 campaign. He could be joined by a new strike partner amid speculation growing over United replacing Juventus-linked Joshua Zirkzee.

Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the busiest clubs in the summer transfer window so far, and they are now pushing to close another deal, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs have brought in six players already in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali, while they have also sold a host of young talent in Luka Vuskovic, Tynan Thompson, and Will Lankshear to help balance the books and squad.

But the club are now looking at a move that would see a key first-team star depart north London during the window, with a deal very much on the cards.

Romano: Spurs In Talks to Sell Romero

It has previously been reported that Cristian Romero will 100% leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with talks planned between the club, player, and his representatives about the next steps surrounding his future.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his latest Italian YouTube video that the Argentina international is in talks about a move to return to Serie A to sign for Inter Milan, with Spurs also involved in discussions about a deal.

“Understand Inter had initial direct contact with Cristian Romero’s camp,” he wrote on X.

“Talks taking place on both club and player sides, expensive and not easy, but Inter are trying with negotiations ongoing.”

Romero, who has been described as ‘phenomenal’, was a key player for Argentina during the World Cup as they reached a second consecutive final, but he was forced off injured in the 70th minute as they fell to an extra-time defeat to Spain.

That came after he missed the run-in at the end of the Premier League season with a knee injury, and it now seems that he has played his final game for Spurs.

Tottenham Well Prepped for Life After Romero

Tottenham have obviously been aware for a while that Romero will be leaving this summer, hence their decision to bring in Van Hecke and Senesi in the transfer window.

With those two alongside Kevin Danso and Micky Van de Ven, the club are well stocked in central defence for the upcoming campaign, especially since they won’t have European football to contend with too.

Romero’s future clearly lies away from north London, and a return to Italy could be something that makes a lot of sense for him. But Spurs won’t sell on the cheap, and it’s clear that there is still some way to go in negotiations before a deal can be considered done.
