ANTHONY JOSHUA’S trainer Robert Garcia claimed only a style akin to a prime Mike Tyson could beat Oleksandr Usyk.
Garcia, a former world champion, was recruited by AJ for his heavyweight rematch with Usyk, who has lost to last year.

But it was a repeat result as Joshua came up short on points in Saudi Arabia last month.
It leaves ex-undisputed cruiserweight king Usyk still unbeaten in 20 fights and leading in boxing’s pound-for-pound list.
And according to Garcia, no one has the ferocious Iron Mike style needed to dethrone the Ukrainian.
He told FightHype: “Man, Usyk is very difficult.
“I don’t even know if there is any heavyweight that fights like that, but if we had a fighter like the old Mike Tyson, I think that style is probably the one that beats Usyk.
“But we don’t have anybody like that in the heavyweight division.
“As for the top guys, I don’t think there’s anyone who fights like Mike Tyson did, so maybe it’s going to be hard to find someone to beat him.”
Tyson, now 56, was became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time in 1986, considered to be his most destructive area.

After Usyk, 35, retained the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, he called for an undisputed decider with WBC champion Tyson Fury, 34.
But he wanted to wait until next year after returning to his war-torn homeland for the first time, having left friends and family to train.
That did not fit into Fury’s plans of returning by the end of the year, so he unexpectedly turned his attention to Joshua, 32.
And despite consecutive defeats, AJ accepted a 60/40 challenger’s split in return of a world title shot.
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said contracts have been sent to Joshua for a December 3 bout at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
