FORMER BOXING champion Audley Harrison is of the opinion that he can help Anthony Joshua get his swagger back after damaging defeat to Oleksandr  Usyk.

In an exclusive interview with Legalsportsbooks.com, former professional boxer and Olympic gold medalist Harrison gave his thoughts on the heavyweight boxing scene and Joshua in particular.

Harrison said of Joshua’s setback: “When you keep your ‘0’, it gives you that aura. I know when I was undefeated I had that swagger. Once you lose that ‘0’, you’re going to have to rebuild. That’s where he [Joshua] is right now. He’s in a rebuilding process. The Usyk fights didn’t go his way but I think he’s got one more run in him, he’s just got to get it right. 

“Joshua – sit with me, we’ll watch your take together. We’ll just watch your last fight together and then I’ll just pick up on some stuff. Then we could talk it through in a gym, maybe work it through, that’s not offered to you. And I’m guaranteeing you it’d be a good time for your investment. I know it’d be a great time of mine, but great time on your investment.”

If Joshua can bet back on course, the bout that the world wants to see is against fellow Briton Tyson Fury, the current heavyweight kingpin.

Harrison believes that Fury would beat Joshua in a genuine battle of Britain. “Tyson Fury isn’t a big puncher, so he’s someone that would wear you down. Now he’s with SugarHill Steward. Tyson Fury has always been a good boxer, even from the amateurs he’s been a quality boxer. But what they have done now as a pro, going to SugarHill, he’s taught him about going forward.

“Now he’s using his weight and he’s able to go forward. He’s not a big puncher but over time, with his mental strength as well, you’d have to make him the favourite against Joshua. But you definitely cannot rule Joshua out. He’s going to come in in great shape and he’s got to go forward and put that pressure on.”
