Robert Garcia, Former World Heavyweight Champion Trainer Anthony Joshua, believes that the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Oleksandr Usyk bulked up ahead of their rematch, and admits it could be a sign of his poor form.

“If you noticed, we have two months left before the fight, and Usyk still looks a little wobbly. I don't know if Alexander did it on purpose to be strong and harder in the rematch, or if he's just not in shape.

Usyk spent several months in his country because of the war, so I don't know. If he works to get in shape, then he needs to work hard. But if he has gained mass to be stronger, then we will have to fight hard because Usyk is also very talented,” Garcia said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
