The mentor of the former world heavyweight champion recounted how he changed the mentality of the British boxer.
Anthony Joshua was not yet ready to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in the first fight, but now everything has changed. This is what the coach of former world heavyweight champion Robert Garcia said.
According to the British boxer’s new mentor, Joshua is on the right team, which has brought many improvements to his boxing.
“Joshua didn’t think of winning, he wasn’t ready to win that fight yet. Anthony told me he was just thinking about how to go through all 12 rounds. Joshua didn’t think of winning, but going the full distance. .So in this it’s an important difference.Now he’s thinking about winning and dealing with injury.That’s the most important thing.He needs to have confidence in his team.
Now that we’ve seen a lot of improvements in Joshua, we still have five weeks of hard training left. He will continue to heal and get better. When it was time to fight, Anthony would be ready. Joshua must have a team that wants to win. Dala ko yata. Angel Fernandez and I want to be an aggressive, angry guy in the ring so he can surprise any opponent. Now Joshua is doing it and I’m very happy with what’s happening, ”Garcia was quoted as saying by The Sun.
It will be recalled that the rematch of Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia, in the city of Jeddah at the Super Dome arena. In September 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision, winning the WBA, WBO and IBF championship belts.
