Anthony Joshua was knocked down twice in the first round of his fight against Kristian Prengë. But he bounced back in the second round to score a victory in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
But what did the coach say to the British player after the very difficult first round?
Joshua had Ukrainian Iegor Golub in his corner, who has also worked with Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua is already training in the legendary Ukrainian's camp.
"AJ, first of all, you have to move. Your hands have to be closed. You have to move and work on the punch. Stay in the ring, don't fall," Golub told him, according to The Sun.
The trainer's words had the desired effect. Joshua entered the ring much more prepared and scored a victory.
