Anthony Joshua's coach explains what fighter did wrong against Oleksandr Usyk

Anthony Joshua's trainer Robert Garcia believes the Brit was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk because he lacked intensity.

Joshua was attempting to exact revenge against Usyk in Saudi Arabia last weekend but found himself on the wrong end of a split decision loss. Usyk was able to dominate more of the fight than his rival, with Joshua's improved performance not enough to have his hand raised.

Joshua had ripped up his previous training regime and was working at Loughborough University alongside Garcia after parting ways with Robert McCracken. However Garcia believes Joshua's pressure in the fight started too late and believes he should have shown more aggression earlier on.
