JOHNNY NELSON has revealed what he believes is the biggest problem in Anthony Joshua’s career.
AJ is one of the nation’s biggest superstars but ex-cruiserweight world champion Nelson fears it could be at his detriment.

He told The Mirror, courtesy of NewBettingSites.uk: “It’s very hard to have people around you that’ll tell you how it is.
“You’re going to have people around you that want to stay in your employment, stay in that circle.
“So they’re going to tell you stuff that you want to hear.
“They’re not going to tell you, ‘You need to be doing this, you need to get a hand up, you’re getting hit, you’re getting beat up by this guy here. Why are you doing that? Why aren’t you running this time? Why are you going to open that crisp packet when you should be in the gym?’
“Nobody on his squad are going to dare tell him that with any conviction.
“And so now all of a sudden the roles have changed, whereas when you’re hungry, and you need it, they want to drag you up.
“Now he’s the boss. They work for him. And so that’s where the problem is.
“And I think that along with time, along with age, along with experience, along with appetite, once they get out of kilter [it’s over]. AJ’s in that position.”

Joshua, 35, has been out of the ring since September when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27.
He has since undergone elbow surgery and looks to be targeting a return before the end of the year.
And Joshua has recently been in shock talks to fight YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 28 after being called out.
