JAKARTA - Anthony Joshua is preparing for his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk after being beaten by the Ukrainian in their first bout at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
However, the former champion flatly rejected the proposal to coach Tyson Fury. He said that there was nothing to learn from the boxer nicknamed the Gypsy King.
The comments come after Fury set a statistically best record as British heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, beating Deontay Wilder twice, before sensationally dropping Dillian Whyte in his comeback bout in England.
Fury has declared himself retiring from professional boxing, despite suspicions that he will accept a fight labeled 'money' against the winner Joshua vs Usyk II.
"What can I learn from him (Fury)? Honestly, no, I don't think so," Joshua told The Mirror, quoted on Tuesday.

"For a retired man, go and have a beer, relax, go and help people in need, what are you talking about?
"He has an interesting character but I would not accept his help, I have done my job, he has done his job and good luck in what he does."
Joshua, however, has lost his heavyweight belt twice through defeats to Usyk and Andy Ruiz Jr. While Fury, never lost his belt in defeat, only had to give up his title due to disputes with various associations.
Joshua has overhauled his team
Joshua himself has overhauled his team ahead of the fight versus Usyk. He cut career ties with Rob McCracken and hired Robert Garcia instead.
Garcia will be trusted to strategize Joshua for the rematch against the Ukrainian, who was technically much better than Joshua in the first fight.
