Anthony Joshua is being told what to do in training for his upcoming fight after previously being treated "like God" before his last fights.
Joshua, 33, is gearing up for his UK return as he faces Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena in two weeks. The Brit is without a win in over two years having lost his heavyweight titles to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021 before failing to win them back in their second fight last August. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has admitted the former two-time world champion wasn't being pushed hard enough in his past training camps but that has changed now he's moved camps to the US.
“I see a guy [Joshua] that has worked really hard. He was very tired yesterday after a long camp out there,” Hearn told K.O. Artist Sports. “It’s hard for me to explain to you the difference in the camps that I saw. On the one side, he was at the Institute of Sport in England with lots of people and 10 rings and the Olympic setup and scientists.
