I left because of Carl Froch's nose, says Joshua
Anthony Joshua has finally shed light on his decision to part ways with his long-term coach Rob McCracken. The heavyweight champion cited Carl Froch's nose as the main reason for the switch, claiming that McCracken failed to teach him proper defensive techniques. In his interview with Boxing News, Joshua expressed his frustration at getting hit too often with clean shots during his fights. He also criticized McCracken's absence during his training camp for the Andy Ruiz fight.
Moving from one trainer to another: Garcia, James, and now
Joshua's split with McCracken led him to train under Robert Garcia for his rematch with Usyk, where he suffered his second defeat. He has now turned to Derrick James, hoping to secure a third world championship title. Joshua's first fight under James resulted in a convincing victory against Jermaine Franklin. With a rematch against Dillian Whyte scheduled for August 12 at the O2 Arena, Joshua is eager to prove himself once again.
Froch's opinion and Joshua's response
Retired super-middleweight champion Carl Froch shared his perspective on Joshua's split with McCracken in a YouTube video on his Froch on Fighting channel. Froch believed that Joshua should have stayed with McCracken and resolved any issues they had. He emphasized the importance of listening to a coach's advice and executing a game plan. In response, Joshua acknowledged Froch's views but maintained his decision to part ways with McCracken for the sake of his career.
