Anthony Joshua warned he is set for a 'rough ride' in his heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk by Johnny Nelson... but is tipped to be 'too big' and 'too aggressive' as he bids to avoid major shock

Anthony Joshua has been warned to brace for a 'rough ride' in his bout against Oleksandr Usyk next month by former WBO cruiserweight king Johnny Nelson.

Joshua makes his return against former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with his unified heavyweight belts on the line.

And Nelson believes that the home favourite is in for a gruelling encounter against his opponent, who is bidding to become a two-weight world champion.

He has, however, also predicted Joshua to come out on top, labelling him 'too big' and 'far too aggressive' for Usyk to handle.
