Heavy champion Oleksandr Usyk has offered to help prepare Anthony Joshua for his next fight.
Usyk has beaten Joshua in two consecutive high-profile heavyweight title fights.
But says he is open to coming to the UK to assist Joshua with his training.
Usyk outclassed Joshua in an upset last year to win the unified IBF, WBO and WBA championship. In a brave bid to try to reclaim his titles Joshua chose to trigger his rematch clause and boxed the Ukrainian a second time last month, only for Usyk to claim a points victory once again.
In the immediate aftermath of that fight, Usyk called for Tyson Fury to face him in an undisputed heavyweight title clash. It is the one fight Usyk wants but he will not be ready to box again until next year February.
That opened the door for Fury, the WBC titlist, to fight Joshua in an all-British heavyweight clash.
Tyson Fury has offered Joshua the opportunity to challenge him and Joshua’s management team announced on Tuesday that, they have accepted terms for that possible bout on December 3.
