Ex-Anthony Joshua coach refuses to back down from controversial ... (Daily Express)

Anthony Joshua and Robert Garcia parted ways after losing to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

And then the third time I said, ‘I’m gonna do it my way and step away from everything.'” “I can take it, but at the same time – I can’t talk about you, and you not back yourself. There was a lot to be said by so many boxing experts, I’m not the only one who said that.” When asked why he had made the switch from Garcia to James, Joshua told I wasn’t the only one that said that – he should be mad and frustrated at the whole world – because everyone said the same thing! Garcia put the loss down to Joshua being ‘mentally defeated’ in the later rounds, which AJ took exception to.

Robert Garcia Says He Doesn't Regret Making Critical Comments ... (BoxingScene.com)

Robert Garcia is standing by some harsh, if honest, words he made not long ago regarding his former client, former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

It wasn’t just me saying he was frustrated and that he was a little … Maybe a little bit of embarrassment because that reaction wasn’t the right reaction that a fighter usually takes. And then what happened after the fight when he grabbed the mic and all that, I think that was a lot of frustration. I think that had to do with maybe knowing that you were so close and you let it go. When you have a fighter who does so good in one round that you almost stop your opponent, it does make a difference when the next round is totally opposite. “So there was a lot to be said by so many boxing people, so many boxing experts, because I’m not the only one that said that.

He shared two images on social media of him cutting down a tree and he looks absolutely shredded. He has lost three of his last five bouts, losing his heavyweight titles twice in the process in what is a period to forget for him. He’s putting in some serious work away from the ring and looks absolutely jacked as a result. The Ukrainian was too hot for AJ to handle in their first bout, winning via unanimous decision from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. He’ll be hoping for a happier return to London when he takes on AJ at the O2 Arena next month. It was a TKO victory for his opponent which made it even more shocking.

Carl Froch doesn't believe Anthony Joshua could ever beat Usyk or Fury - names his choice of next opponent for AJ (British Boxing News)

Former world champion Carl Froch spoke extensively about Anthony Joshua's potential comeback and offered some career advice for Chris Eubank Jr. "The Cobra" doesn't believe AJ is the same fighter he was and suggests he needs to plan his comeback route ...

Obviously he's a pro fighter, he went the distance with Saunders and he went the distance with Groves, so he is capable. He's got to remember what got him to where he is; the sparring, the hard work, the hard runs. "If AJ can go back to that fighter who climbed off the canvas against Wladimir Klitschko and then sent him into orbit with that uppercut, if he can rediscover his finisher's instinct, and go back to using his size and combinations, he can still be a threat to anyone at heavyweight. He took the rematch, listened to Rob, boxed and moved and kept out the way and won. If he can set his mind right and banish the ghosts of Ruiz and Usyk, he has a chance to get back to the top of the mountain - but it’s a big ask. I just think he took his eye off the ball, off the boxing game. He didn't listen to Rob, he went out to New York and got beat. It's a must win, he has to win. It's a dangerous fight for him and one he loses. I think the belief has been knocked out of him after that he lost to Ruiz - that was bad. I'm concerned where he goes and what his ambitions are in terms of what's left for him in the sport." I'm not writing him off, he's big enough and capable enough - he's a tidy boxer.
