We speak about fights, our fights, and I say 'champ, come on, don't stop'." Joshua's last fight was a routine victory against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in December, but he has taken some time away from the sport to recover mentally and physically after being a passenger in a fatal car crash later that month that killed two of his friends. Usyk said he could empathise with Joshua because he has lost friends during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine following the Russian invasion. "I said ' , God gave you one more chance. Take this chance and don't stop or cry. This is life, pray every day and god will help you. Whatever you need I will help," Usyk said. "It's hard but I think my friends now are like angels. "Every day I pray for these guys - this is life. I don't know what waits for me and my team tomorrow, but I continue to work, pray and help. "If God gives you a gift every day then appreciate it.

It's hard but you must continue to live because God gives you that." Watch every Born to Brawl episode
