Tyson Fury has delivered Anthony Joshua a blueprint of how he can beat Oleksandr Usyk in their clash this weekend.
The British star faces undefeated Ukrainian Usyk in a highly anticipated rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in Saturday, with the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles on the line.
The bout will take place around 11 months after Joshua was stunned by the underdog and was relieved of his belts after losing via unanimous decision in London.
And WBC champion Fury took to social media to demonstrate exactly how he feels Joshua can beat the 35-year-old.

He said on Instagram: ‘This is how Anthony Joshua needs to attack Oleksandr Usyk’s body. I know the blown-up middleweight can’t take body shots.’
‘The Cat’ Usyk (19-0), who spent a month in Ukraine with compatriot and fellow boxer Vasiliy Lomachenko to help defend his country following Russia’s invasion, moved up from cruiserweight in 2018.
He struggled in his first two fights at heavyweight, against Chazz Witherspoon and Derek Chisora, but comfortably outpointed Joshua in their first clash last year.

However, ‘the Gypsy King’ clearly feels Usyk, 6ft 3ins to Joshua’s 6ft 6ins and perhaps naturally smaller in stature, would struggle to compete if the 32-year-old (24-2) peppers him with body shots.
Undefeated boxer Fury is officially ‘retired’ but could be tempted to face the winner of this bout in a unification bout for all the heavyweight belts.
Dave Coldwell, the trainer behind Tony Bellew’s valiant display against Usyk, also revealed his thoughts on how Joshua can win, as reported by Sportsmail on Tuesday.
