Clarke: AJ has made changes that can help him beat Usyk

Frazer Clarke says fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has made changes that can help him regain his world titles in an expected rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.

Two-time world champion Joshua lost by unanimous decision to Usyk in September last year, but appears likely to face the Ukrainian in a rematch for the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts later this summer.

The most notable change in the Joshua camp appears to be the promotion of Angel Fernandez from coach to head trainer in place of Rob McCracken, who had guided Joshua since his amateur days.

Clarke, who is also trained by Fernandez, believes his stable mate will pose a different proposition for Usyk the second time around.

"I think the loss has made him better," Clarke told Sky Sports News. "He's opened his eyes a bit.

"It's made him mentally better. I think he knows what he needs to do.

"I think he's changed his situation, which he thinks will help him. He's got a team of people that are dedicated for one thing, and that's AJ getting the result."
