Anthony Joshua's coach Robert Garcia insists he was mistranslated when suggesting his fighter was "mentally defeated".
Joshua came up s second best in his revenge mission with Usyk after falling to split-decision defeat in their rematch in Saudi Arabia. New coach Garcia trained the heavyweight star alongside Angel Fernandez and expressed doubts over Joshua's mindset going into the fight.
In a recent interview with Spanish-speaking Outlet IZQUIERDAZO, it was reported that Garcia had claimed Joshua was second best mentally to the Ukrainian. "Joshua was mentally defeated since round 10 or 11," he said during the interview after translation. "Round 10 was a big one for Usyk. That changed the whole fight, and mentally we were defeated. At that point, we were relying on a good shot or something like that."
