Johnny Nelson has suggested Anthony Joshua is now "fighting with ego" after labouring to a comeback win over Jermaine Franklin.
Joshua returned to the ring after back-to-back defeats against Oleksandr Usyk, when he outpointed American contender Franklin by unanimous decision in London last weekend. Despite getting back to winning ways, 'AJ' faced further criticism for his display in the victory, with many suggesting he was once again a shadow of his former power-punching self.
After the fight, Joshua admitted he was unhappy with his performance and was disappointed to not close the show after displaying glimpses of his heavy hitting. And cruiserweight champion Nelson believes Joshua has lost his natural desire to compete in the ring which showed in his last appearance.
