Joshua Told To Part Ways With Training Team

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 19, 2022

Ricky Hatton has weighed in on Anthony Joshua’s post-fight meltdown against Oleksandr Usyk. The British boxing legend believes that his team are accountable and has stated that they should never be in anyone’s corner again.

Following his second loss to Usyk on August 20, a clearly frustrated AJ threw the WBA (super) and Ring Magazine belts out of the ring and made a beeline for the exit before returning to deliver an impassioned speech. Joshua was heavily criticised for ‘stealing Usyk’s moment’ and received a lot of backlash for his antics.

But Hatton doesn’t believe the Watford powerhouse is to blame. Speaking to Seconds Out, he said: “He went up to the opposite corner, giving them the fist a little bit. That was too heavy for my liking. Someone in that corner should have turned around and said, ‘Oh, AJ is losing it.’ Emotions are all over the place in a fight of that magnitude.

“You just got beat, I get it, and it should have been someone putting their arm around him and saying, ‘Hey AJ, come on, mate. Let’s get out of the ring because you’re not too good.’

“No, they allowed it to happen. They allowed him to chuck belts out of the ring. They allowed him to get the microphone. What was his corner doing when they saw him with the microphone? They should never be in anyone’s corner again that lot. Shocking behaviour, shocking corner work.

“Now everyone is having a pop at AJ. AJ could have been saved from all of that stuff by his team. It’s all about having the good team around me. That’s why I pretty much had the same team my whole career. Nobody knows you better than the people that have been with you your whole life.
