Eddie Hearn reveals problem with Anthony Joshua before his Andy Ruiz defeat

Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has questioned the boxer’s mindset before his defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr. Mexican boxer beat Joshua at Madison Square Garden on June 1, has won IBF, WBA and WBO world titles. Asked by BoxingSocial if Joshua would be making any changes to his camp ahead of his rematch against Ruiz, Hearn replied: “I think he will bring someone in, but one thing is very clear and Anthony has made it very clear that Rob McCracken is the head trainer. “He’s more than a trainer actually, he’s sort of camp leader, he’s an advisor, he’s all different things. Will they bring in someone to work on specific things? Quite possibly, yeah. I don’t really get involved too much in that sort of stuff, despite the conspiracy theories and rumours. “They know what they are doing, in my opinion, Rob McCracken is one of the best trainers in the world, he knows exactly what Anthony Joshua has to do to beat Andy Ruiz, he’s got to make it happen, make him do it. But the mindset for this is totally different, I already see it. “When you’re in a situation, it’s only afterwards that you look back and think [what was I doing?]. So you look back there, the whole fight week for Joshua-Ruiz, he was on ESPN First Take, ‘oh yeah, I’m gonna have a meeting with Fury, we’ll do this…’ ‘It’s like, ‘mate [don’t speak beyond this fight]’, but at the time no one was saying, ‘Josh, [don’t speak about that].”
