Anthony Joshua's secret reason behind his shock knockout defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 | Daily Mail Online

Until AJ starts accepting responsibility for his losses he will never move on from them.

Basically the rumours are he suffers from Anxiety attacks.
Symptoms of a panic attack
If you experience sudden, intense anxiety and fear, it might be the symptoms of a panic attack. Other symptoms may include:

• a racing heartbeat
• feeling faint, dizzy or lightheaded
• feeling that you're losing control
• sweating, trembling or shaking
• shortness of breath or breathing very quickly
• a tingling in your fingers or lips
• feeling sick (nausea)

A panic attack usually lasts 5 to 30 minutes. They can be frightening, but they're not dangerous and should not harm you.

The only boxer I can remember admitting to anxiety attacks is Danny Williams.From what I recall he said it was like being extremely nervous before a job interview but multiplied by a hundred.

David Price suffered from them and remained in denial.

The legendary trainer the Late Gil Clancy mentioned that Gerry Cooney used to suffer from them. But not much was about performance anxiety in the 1980's.so he went untreated.

Performance Anxiety is fairly common amongst athletes. Left undiagnosed and untreated it can become chronic and lead to regular panic attacks.

The constant in all this is you AJ and until you admit that you are going nowhere.

Going beyond the clickbait headline I dont think he said much wrong there. What that interview has revealed is that he is not a strong student of the game or boxing history.

His first mistake was bringing two inexperienced coaches to work with the head coach. Which created a conflict. Common sense and boxing protocol dictates that you let the head coach choose his assistants.

Then bizarely he retains an assistant coach lets him hire the Head Coach. Again common sense and boxing protocol dictates that you find a head coach that you can gel with and let him bring his own team.

Now if people around him had any commonsense they would have told him both of those things he tried would not work. Looking at boxing history.

Naseem Hamed for example hired both Oscar Suarez and Manny Steward neither of them liked each other.

Going by his interview with Talksport not sure what he is trying this time. If he has hired Derrick James but still has a seperate team of assistants dont think that will work either.

He seems to be over thinking things and trying to be too clever trying to hire an executive team like he is running a chain of retail stores.

Simply hire a head boxing coach and his assistants. By all means use your own nutritionist and chef and massage therapist. But Derrick James needs his own team of people that he trusts for the boxing side of training camp.
