Deontay Wilder's trainer believes Anthony Joshua is "gun-shy" despite his points win over Jermaine Franklin.
Joshua was unable to KO American contender Franklin in his points win at London's O2 arena last weekend, as he returned to the winning column after a difficult period. 'AJ' had faced criticism for his two performances against Oleksandr Usyk, and many felt he would return with a typical power-punching display under new trainer Derrick James.
But he was taken the distance as he looks to get his career back on track in a new push for world titles. Despite restoring his momentum, Wilder's long-term coach Malik Scott believes Joshua is failing to show his heavy-hitting attributes that saw him rise to become a two-time world champion.
