Anthony Joshua "totally lost his mind" after second Oleksandr Usyk defeat

Anthony Joshua's ex-trainer has admitted the heavyweight "lost his mind" following his second loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua returned to winning ways after linking up with new trainer Derrick James when he outpointed Jermaine Franklin in London earlier this month. It has been a tough spell in the heavyweight's career having been forced to bounce back after two consecutive defeats by Usyk under two different coaches.

The second came in their Saudi Arabia rematch where AJ's improved performance wasn't enough to prevent him falling short on the judges' scorecards. After the final bell, Joshua went on an uncharacteristic X-rated rant and came in for heavy criticism including from trainer Robert Garcia.
