Talks between both fighters’ camps have reportedly resumed after previous attempts to finalise the bout collapsed over the years. Usyk, who has faced—and defeated—both heavyweights twice, said his recent time training alongside Joshua has strengthened his belief in the Briton’s readiness.

Joshua has been working in Spain with Usyk as part of his recovery and return to full fitness following a December car accident, after which he sustained minor injuries but has since resumed structured training.

Speaking to The Independent, Usyk praised Joshua’s commitment in camp, describing him as highly focused and determined.

He also called for continued support for Joshua during a difficult phase in his career, urging fans not to turn against fighters during setbacks, but to stand by them as part of the sport.

Usyk acknowledged that Joshua is nearing a full return but stressed the need for patience as he continues recovery.

Meanwhile, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn suggested the former world champion is likely to take at least one more fight before a possible showdown with Fury, adding that his current training setup has been beneficial for his focus and preparation.

Usyk himself is preparing for his own upcoming bout scheduled for May 23 in Egypt, where he will face kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven.

In an interview, the reality TV personality revealed that she is single because she has not found the right partner.

According to her, while she maintains a strong spiritual connection, she has yet to meet someone who would make her reconsider being single.

Reflecting on past relationships, Tacha explained that sometimes things don’t work out, noting that it is better to end a relationship than to remain in a situation that could lead to a troubled marriage.

She stressed that leaving a toxic relationship early is wiser than dealing with marital issues later.

Speaking on her journey after BBNaija, Tacha credited her success to faith, consistency, and her upbringing, adding that her work ethic has helped her build a strong personal brand beyond the show.

According to reports, the cause of his death has not yet been disclosed, but tributes have begun pouring in from colleagues, fans, and figures within the entertainment and cultural community.

Afrojuju star Sir Shina Peters described the late musician as more than a friend, calling him a brother whose influence and personality left a lasting impact on his life and the music scene. He added that the memories they shared would remain with him and that Ajao’s legacy would continue to live on.

Born in Iseyin, Prof. Ajao developed an early passion for music, starting his career in Ibadan before forming his own group, Y.K. Ajao and His Professional Brothers Band. He later rose to prominence in the juju music genre with his breakout project Makosa Series 1, followed by Makosa Series 2 and Vigilante, which expanded his reach both locally and internationally.

Throughout his career, he earned recognition from juju legend King Sunny Ade and was honoured at a major event in Lagos during the height of juju music’s popularity.

Beyond music performance, Ajao was also known for blending music with academics, contributing to the preservation and growth of traditional Nigerian sounds.
