  • says Joshua was jabbing from the hip
  • needs to change trainers
  • shouldn't take the immediate rematch
  • Joshua didn't look right before the fight
  • says Joshua needs better defense



this interview is nothing but tough love


Definitely needs to change trainers. He is too comfortable training in Sheffield at the performance centre and has basically only heard McCacken voice at both Amateur and Pro level. He needs something new to freshen him up.

Have no idea tbh. If he sticks British, Caldwell would make the most sense. Isnt stuck to a particular style like the Ingle or Booth are and Joe Gallagher is a sideways move IMO. Gallagher a good domestic trainer tho.

If he goes to the States looking

No point going to Freddie, don't think he would mesh well with Virgil Hunter. Then you left with Sanchez, Jackson, Banks.

He's not a coach but if anyone knows how to keep short, pudgy HWs at bay it's Wladimir Klitschko. They used to spar to and they fought a FOTY too, Joshua should hit him up with the question whether he can help him with some advice

Which probably leads to Banks.

The adjustments he has made to GGG already are super interesting. GGG was always a great boxer though, Joshua I am not sure has the IQ but if he can develop a strong jab from range he can have a longer career. He'd be the best US pick for Josh imo but I don't think he leaves his current trainer yet.

The advantage Banks has over everyone else, he fought at heavyweight and was involved in Wlad's camps as both a sparring partner and as trainer.

First and foremost..my problem is this kid needs to go to Mayweather for stamina training. Spence and Mayweather doing 15 rounds in camp...Joshua was breathing hard by the start of the 3rd round. He's a gold medalist..wtf is going on here??
You’re really comparing a man who weighs 265 pounds of muscle to Spence and Mayweather in terms of stamina? :usure:
