Oleksandr Usyk’s manager tags rival Anthony Joshua’s luxury Range Rover with Ukrainian’s name in cheeky media day stunt

ANTHONY JOSHUA had his Range Rover tagged by the manager of Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their heavyweight showdown.

Egis Klimas was spotted casually scrawling ‘Usyk’ on the door of the Brit’s luxury 4×4.

Fortunately for Joshua, his rival’s efforts will not leave a mark as Klimas simply drew the tag in dust left on the car.

In a video posted by Sky Sports, the manager asks ‘Oh, what is this?’ as he films the car door on his phone, before walking away with a cheeky grin on his face.

Joshua will not need any more motivation to beat Usyk when the pair meet in Tottenham on Saturday.

The Brit, 31, is a big fan of his cars and regularly poses with Range Rovers.

Ahead of the fight, Tyson Fury promoter Frank Warren has warned Joshua that he may fall foul of the Ukrainian’s skills if he cannot seal an early knockout.

He said: “If that goes 12 rounds, I would fancy Usyk to get the decision because to get there, he’s going to have to outbox him.

“And he’s obviously a very smart operator, you know how he’s going to fight – he’s going to try and get inside and underneath AJ’s jab.”

But Joshua has planned to go the distance with cruiserweight king Usyk – and then some.

Sparring partner Shokran Parwani told SunSport: “AJ is conditioned for 15 rounds, he’s sparred six guys, different attributes, different styles, different techniques.

“He sparred them all really great, with lots of calmness and everything he does is practising and everything he does in the camp, he’ll do in the ring.

“It’s nothing new for him and I think he will stop him and really shock everybody.

“Because everybody will be shocked how great AJ is because he’s a fantastic boxer and he has a great mindset.”
