Anthony Joshua's new trainer questioned heavyweight's "love for sport" after defeat

Anthony Joshua's new trainer Robert Garcia feared that the former heavyweight champion has lost his love for boxing after his losses to Oleksandr Usyk and Andy Ruiz Jr.

Joshua has lost two of his last four fights, first being stopped by Ruiz in New York before reclaiming his titles in Saudi Arabia and defending them against Kubrat Pulev. But he was then comprehensively outpointed by Usyk in front of his home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.

And watching that lacklustre showing against the Ukrainian, who hadn't looked great since his move up to heavyweight, led Garcia to fear for Joshua's mindset. He and the Brit then met in America, before eventually teaming up to work together for the rematch.
