Anthony Joshua needs a 'brain transplant' if he is to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in August rematch, claims Carl Froch, as he remains unconvinced a change in coach is enough to help Brit rediscover the 'mentality of a winner'

Carl Froch says Anthony Joshua needs a 'brain transplant' if he is to become a three-time heavyweight world champion by beating Oleksandr Usyk.

Froch believes the Watford-born Joshua has the body to take on Usyk, but questioned his mentality ahead of their rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 20.

Last September at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Usyk won their initial fight by unanimous decision, but now Joshua has a new trainer, Robert Garcia, who is thought to bring more aggression to the 32-year-old's boxing style.
