Anthony Joshua has been told his "woeful" coaches let him down again after coming up short in his efforts to win back his belts against Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua, 32, was outpointed by Usyk for the second time in 11 months as he lost a split decision to the heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. One judge was slammed for scoring the fight in Joshua's favour despite Usyk being the clear winner, with the other two having it 115-113 and 116-112 for the Ukrainian.
The Brit ditched his longtime coach Robert McCracken for the rematch after the coach's poor corner advice for Joshua's first meeting against Usyk last September. Joshua's new trainer Robert Garcia led his fighter to a much-improved performance, but it wasn't enough as Usyk outclassed him for a second time. One of Joshua's former Olympic coaches, Paul Walmsley, thinks 'AJ' was let down for a second time by his corner staff against Usyk.
