Anthony Joshua's new coach recommended he change his attitude before they teamed up

Anthony Joshua's new coach Robert Garcia told the former heavyweight champion that he needed a major attitude shift before the pair could team up.

According to ESPN , the Brit will be cornered by the famed trainer for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia this summer. He met with Garcia during a trip to America immediately after his loss to Usyk, as well as Ronnie Shields, Eddy Reynoso and a host of other coaches.

And Garcia has insisted to Joshua that he must be given total control of the camp if the duo are to work together effectively and make the Watford native a three-time heavyweight champion. Joshua was initially trained by Rob McCracken, but has split from his old coach after losing the heavyweight titles for a second time, his second loss in four fights.
