And he revealed there has been a change in strategy for Joshua to try and hand Usyk his first professional loss.

“Obviously there is a few changes, there is a few talks between the team,” Fernandez explained to iFL TV.

“Nobody else knows better than him what needs to be done in the fight in order to win. He’s been with this man twelve rounds. He knows what things could have been done better and also what things have to like go away.

“Obviously myself and Garcia as well we are bringing different approaches. It’s not changing anything. It’s just adding to his game.

“I’m bringing the old AJ back, that’s what we’re trying to do.

“The final prediction has been the same since AJ came into Loughborough from day one. We’re going to knock this guy out. That’s the way we train and that’s what we’re going to do.”
