I think this narrative needs to stop now, of Joshua being called a body builder. I get it? The man is condition, and does not have the physique of Tyson Fury or Andy Ruiz Junior, I get it guys.
Anthony Joshua without a shadow of a doubt, is one of the most dedicated boxers in the game. His work ethic is near psychopathic, this can be a strength of his but also a draw back. As Joshua has clearly trained incredibly hard for his rematch with Usyk, he did not win and the loss has effected him more profoundly than any other loss.
Joshua knew that he could beat Ruiz Junior in the rematch, and deep down Joshua's detractors knew Ruiz Junior skill for skill was not Joshua's equal.
If Anthony Joshua wanted to actual body build he would weigh more than Tyson Fury solid, don't lie to yourselves people. Joshua is no body builder, he trains sports specific.
What issue I have with Joshua's training, is that I think? He has maybe a bit too much incorporated new school techniques and methodologies. When in reality boxing training is simple, you have boxing training and then you have conditioning.
Running, swimming, sprinting, cycling, various types of circuit training and resistant training. Any boxer or just any person can easily research the history of boxing and see how boxers have always trained.
I have has always been adamant that boxers today in terms of endurance and overall fitness have gone backwards. The statistics how this, there is evidence out there to back this up.
Anthony Joshua is obsessive, and the man wants to win. That is something nobody can deny.
It's not the arm, chest, leg, and back muscles that make me say this because that's excepted of a healthy heavyweight. It's the obvious bubble gut.
Laying off the weights and PEDs to dedicate more time to boxing might help him out.

From what Robert Garcia says that's not the case at all.
Not wanting to spar or train on certain days shows a lack of work ethic.
There is nothing wrong with AJ physically.
If his head is not right, it won't matter where he trains or who trains him.
He is apprehensive when it comes to attacking and that's not his style.
