Salita said: "Joshua, coming off two losses, changing trainers, is vulnerable.
"honest. Jermaine realises it. He feels like he has his own future and path. He's ready to go out there and score the upset. Some feel like it could be an upset, and some don't.
"But Jermaine's going out there looking to score the win. After, he wants the rematch with Dillian Whyte, and then he wants to fight the winner of Fury vs. Usyk."
