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 on 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 relieved of his belts after losing via unanimous decision in London.
And WBC champion Fury has taken to social media to demonstrate exactly how he feels Joshua can beat Usyk in the Middle East.

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 their country following Russia’s invasion, moved up from cruiserweight in 2018 after becoming undisputed champion at 200lbs.
He struggled in his first two heavyweight outings 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 naturally smaller in stature, would struggle to compete if the former champion (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 four 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.
