ANTHONY JOSHUA has revealed the steps he plans to take to secure a KO victory in his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
The Brit is desperate to reclaim his WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles that he meekly lost to the Ukrainian in September.
Their rematch has been pencilled in for July, with Saudi Arabia looking the likely venue.
AJ has recently said that he will be gunning for a stoppage win – and now he has explained how he gets into that “tunnel vision” mindset.
In a video he uploaded to Instagram, he told Love Hemp: “We’re in an era of information overload and trying to look at different ways of training.
“The hardest part is just following basic instructions, you know, following you A, B’s and C’s.

“And you can do that. That’ll lead you to a KO in my job, so following the simple A, B’s and C’s to lead me to a KO.
“Not getting caught up in everything else that’s going on, just tunnel vision.
“And having that raw, raw fight in you really.
“So that’s it, don’t get too caught up in too much. Trust yourself, relax and just do your job.”

Promoter Eddie Hearn expects AJ’s high-stakes rematch with Usyk to be announced “next week”.
The pair are on course to meet in a Saudi summer showdown, with July 23 the slated date for their second dance.
A lucrative site deal is close to being finalised and Hearn is confident an official announcement will be made next week.
He told iFL TV: “It’s difficult. If you ask me that question now, yes, you will get an announcement next week.
“But then tomorrow something could take a little bit longer with a contract or an escrow or whatever.”
