Anthony Joshua 'can still have his time' despite crushing loss to Oleksandr Usyk, says former opponent Wladimir Klitschko as he urges Brit to follow his lead and 'bounce back' after suffering two defeats before nine-year reign as champion

Anthony Joshua's former opponent Wladimir Klitschko believes the British star can 'still have his time' despite being outclassed by Olesksandr Usyk.

Joshua was beaten for the second time in his career following his shock stoppage by Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, losing his four world title belts and a lucrative fight with rival Tyson Fury in the process.

The heavyweight star suffered a unanimous points loss to Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend, and has since activated his rematch clause to face him again next February.

Klitschko - who himself was stopped by Joshua during an enthralling contest at Wembley Stadium in 2017 - believes all is not lost for Joshua as he prepares to face his countryman Usyk for a second time.
