ANTHONY JOSHUA was urged to fire the "back slappers" and a ***-kissers from his team.
Last month, the Brit was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk of Saudi Arabia.

AJ brought Robert Garcia, his trainer, onboard for his final camp
AJ, 32 years old, is currently in negotiations to fight Tyson Fury in Britain later in the year.
Barry McGuigan, a former featherweight champion feels that big changes are necessary if he wants to be successful.
Boxing King Media was told by the Irishman, 61: "Joshua needs to take some time out, let him chill out, get his team organized, get rid the back-slappers, and the a kissers. There are lots of them...
"Seize the entire God damn lot of them and take out half-a dozen of the most important members of his team. That's it.
He needs to get back to basics. He's always been a power puncher and should just keep going.
Joshua started working with Robert Garcia, his trainer, before the Usyk second bout. But this was clearly not enough for McGuigan.
The "Clones Cyclone” also encouraged AJ to regain his confidence.
He said, "Joshua was always able to hit power.
He has been struggling with confidence since the Ruiz fight. However, he must get back to sparring and pick good quality opponents.
He must be aggressive, however. He must be aggressive, regardless of whether he is fighting Usyk or Tyson Fury.
Frank Warren, the Gypsy King's promoter, confirmed that talks about a fight against AJ were put on hold after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's death last week.
TalkSPORT was informed by him that he felt it wasn't appropriate. We feel the same way.
"We have put it on hold, and will get on it within the next week."
"From our point of view, it doesn't seem appropriate out of respect for the past."
