Anthony Joshua warned he is going through "a crisis" after back-to-back defeats

Anthony Joshua has been told he is in "a crisis" and that he shouldn't blame those around him for his recent losses.

Two-time heavyweight champion Joshua, 33, is without a win in over two years after losing his last two fights to Oleksandr Usyk. 'AJ' lost his titles to the Ukrainian when they fought last September in London and history repeated itself in August as the Brit failed to win back his belts in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua parted ways with coach Rob McCracken, who guided him to Olympic gold and 20 consecutive professional wins, following his first loss to Usyk. He then partnered up with Robert Garcia for the rematch after touring around the US in search of a new trainer. Former world champion Barry McGuigan has now weighed in on Joshua's position by labelling it as a "crisis", adding that the boxer only has himself to blame.
