After losing to Oleksandr Usyk Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) fired his longtime coach Rob McCracken and hired Robert Garcia before the rematch. But their cooperation lasted only one battle. The situation, as well as the allegations, have already been made by AJ's former coach. In the rematch with Usyk, Joshua looked a little better, but to defeat the Ukrainian, who retained the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts, this was still not enough.

“Anthony called me and told me about his plans. I wish him all the best. Even if I had to keep training him, they want to fight in the spring and have a training camp in England. And around the same time, Jose Ramirez also has a fight date, like "Bam" Rodriguez. I also need to train them well,” said the famous coach.

“It's not that me, Virgil Hunter or Derrick James worked better than the previous coach. Joshua must get out of his comfort zone and stop being the boss at every turn. He should start doing what someone told him to do, he should do in training what does not make him feel comfortable, ”said Garcia.

“Right now his new coach is going to look good because Joshua is going to have two, maybe three easy fights,” Garcia added.
