ANTHONY JOSHUA is "worried" about his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, Carl Froch stated. He must "sort his mind out".
Joshua will face Usyk in Saudi Arabia on August 20, after having lost to him last September.
Oleksandr Usyk & Anthony Joshua will rematch on August 20th in Saudi Arabia
They met again to promote the pay-per view fight in London and the Middle East.
Froch said to Boxing Social that it was difficult to take anything at this stage of the fight because they aren't fighting for a while.
"I think Usyk is extremely confident, and he has every reason to be so because he's very talented.
"AJ seems a bit concerned, and he should be, because he's up against a phenomenal talent."
Joshua, 32, quit Rob McCracken, his long-term trainer, after losing to Usyk (35), and brought in Robert Garcia, a respected US mastermind.
McCracken, 45, also coached Froch who believes Garcia can make AJ a stronger heavyweight fighter.
He stated: "Everyone has already said it, however, he's still the stronger and bigger man so if that's what he can do, he will win."
"He must first get his head straight before he can get in that ring."
"I've told him he needs a transplant and people were like, "What's that he talking about?"
"What I mean is that he needs to have a completely different mindset, and maybe a new trainer [will do that].
Although I don't believe he should have left Rob McCracken, this change could be good for him because it might just ignite something and get his thinking different - make him more aggressive.
"He must get his head straight and believe in himself. Otherwise, it will all go wrong."
