Anthony Joshua has been told to part ways with Robert Garcia after the coach claimed the heavyweight was "mentally defeated".
Joshua came up short in a revenge bid against Usyk in Saudi Arabia last month, losing to a split decision despite showing signs of significant improvement from the first fight. The heavyweight star had appointed Garcia to replace long-term trainer McCracken ahead of the fight, and the American was unable to conjure up a winning gameplan at the second time of asking.
And in an interview with IZQUIERDAZO, Garcia appeared to claim Joshua was "mentally defeated" by Usyk and it was also suggested he showed disrespect to Usyk when tossing his belts. And light-heavyweight star Dan Azeez believes it could be hard to repair their working relationship after the comments were aired in public.
