Israel Adesanya has urged Anthony Joshua to follow a gameplan from one of his past UFC title fights against Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua, 32, looks to become one of the few three-time heavyweight champions in boxing history on Saturday by winning his belts back against Usyk. ‘AJ’ has been expected to rematch to the Ukrainian ever since losing his titles to him last September. The fight is a pivotal moment in Joshua’s boxing career and UFC middleweight champion Adesanya recently gave his opinion on the clash.
Adesanya thinks Joshua should take inspiration from his title fight against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 236 in 2019. Adesanya won the vacant interim middleweight title fight by outpointing Gastelum after a hard-fought rounds, with the bout being voted as 2019’s UFC fight of the year. Adesanya infamously mouthed the words “you can’t beat me, I’m prepared to die” before the final round of the fight.
