World Leaks

ANTHONY JOSHUA needs a “big shakeup” because he’s gone “backwards” with the wrong team around him, claims Carl Froch.

Joshua, 34, suffered a devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in five rounds in front of a British-record 98,000 fans last week at Wembley.

And boxing legend Froch insists big changes are in order if AJ wants a rematch with Dubois as he hasn’t evolved since leaving former trainer Rob McCracken.

The Brit star, though, is not ruling out a major comeback and a third world heavyweight championship for Joshua.

Froch said on his YouTube channel Froch on Fighting: “My point is, he’s gone backwards since leaving Rob McCracken.

“And if he’s gonna move forward and come back and have a rematch with Daniel Dubois then I don’t think he’s got the right team around him.

“He needs a big shakeup in the team, he needs to make changes and – before that – get his head right and then go for it because he’s in the twilight of his career now

“I’m not saying he can’t come back and he can’t go on to become a three-time world champion but it’s gonna be a tough mountain to climb.”

Froch also criticised Joshua’s trainer Ben Davidson’s “very strange” advice after the fourth round.

Davidson told Joshua: “He’s rush stepping in with the jab almost every time unless you’re galloping around.

“Slip or bring it up. In behind that double jab, bring it up, roll the dice. Roll the dice!”

Froch is adamant that was the wrong advice as it put Joshua in a very dangerous position.

The former world champion added: “At the end of round four, he sat down in his corner and the advice from Ben Davidson was very strange.

“Ben Davidson told him to roll the dice, told him to go for it, he wanted AJ to look for the uppercut on his front foot, which is a dangerous punch.

“Because when you throw the uppercut at range you leave your chin exposed.”

Froch doubled down on his criticism of Davidson insisting his idea to “roll the dice” was “stupid”.

The Nottingham bruiser is adamant you can’t follow that tactic against a “big puncher” like Dubois.

Froch added: “That’s why the ‘roll the dice’ in round five was a stupid idea, because you’re not going to roll the dice against someone who is a big puncher.

“All the heavyweights bang, but Daniel Dubois is known for being an absolute tank with that right hand, if he hits them you see the effect. Anthony Joshua looked like he had been tasered.”

Joshua is heading for a rematch with Dubois, who also appears keen, and the fight could take place in Saudi Arabia.

Home of the Huns will feature an impressive line-up of programming[/caption]

ITV has launched a brand new programming rail on the ITVX site titled Home of the Huns featuring a barrage of current hits and classic favourites.

Iconic ITV dramas Bad Girls and Footballer’s Wives, known for having a dedicated following 20 years on from their first airing, will take centre stage with every single episode from the programmes available to stream on the site.

Reality TV hits including The Only Way Is Essex and The Real Housewives of Cheshire will also be amongst the shows featured in the new rail – dedicated to all things Hun culture.

It isn’t just ITV originals that have made it either with Jane McDonald‘s hit Cruising with series from Channel 5 being added to the line-up.

ITV have created the epic new space in order to keep programming for their audiences fresh and relevant.

With just under two thirds of UK Huns watching ITV regularly according to new research undertaken by the channel, it has become a no-brainer to feature all the top TV hits in one place.

Recent episodes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale will also be found in the new space with many of the show’s cast and characters having become influential in the ‘hunis-sphere’.

The move is set to delight fans nationwide with the new dedicated space making it easier than ever to access show favourites.

As part of the new move, ITV have also launched a brand new research scheme called Hey Hunni in order to best tap into the Hun market.

It is another impressive move for ITVX after they recently signed a deal to host more US content than ever before.

Securing a deal with the US’s AMC Networks, a bunch of big reality shows are available to watch for free.

Among them is shock series Love After Lockup, which follows the lives of newly released prisoners and their other halves.

It comes after swingers revealed what really goes on at such events.

Group sex nights are springing up all over the UK – proving Brits aren’t quite as strait-laced as people may think.

Swingers made headlines after Somerset villagers complained about a members-only group called Exclusively Silks hosting “intimate parties” at a local hotel.

They described people “spilling out into the gardens and pool” at night and causing a noise nuisance.

Clubs hosting intimate sex parties exist all over Britain, from Dunstable to Doncaster, from Bedford to Bournemouth.

One online directory of swingers’ clubs lists more than 90 in the UK.

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO’S brother has backed Erik ten Hag and pointed to the real reason behind Manchester United’s failures.

The Red Devils have drawn their last two games, including being held at home in the Europa League to FC Twente.

Alejandro Garnacho’s brother came out in defence of Ten Hag[/caption]

United have just two wins from five Premier League games and are 11th in the table, sparking criticism of Ten Hag.

But Garnacho’s brother Roberto has launched a defence of the Dutchman, arguing the players should be able to beat a side like Twente regardless of the manager.

He also highlighted poor finishing against Palace as the reason why United failed to win, and pointed to an individual mistake which led to Twente’s goal.

Roberto wrote on X: “Btw you all blame Ten Hag, but 11 United players not being able to smash them at home, I don’t think that’s on Ten Hag mate.

“We literally dominated the whole game, we couldn’t score more than a goal, individual mistake makes them score, what’s he supposed to do?

“They were not even getting into our box, if we are not able to score more than a goal against Twente, it is not on him (their goal was a mistake from one of our players too).

“Same last game btw, dominated but couldn’t score a goal, somehow last week it was the wingers’ fault, this one Ten Hag’s.

“If last game we would have gone 2-0 at half-time and won (attackers’ fault because they couldn’t score their chances) you all would say he is being perfect, same today.”

Garnacho was brought on as a substitute against Twente shortly before they scored, and pundit Ruud Gullit believes he did not want to listen to the final instructions Ten Hag dished out.

Gullit said: “Ten Hag wanted to have a meeting with Garnacho, but he didn’t feel like it at all.

“Garnacho was preparing to come on and Ten Hag kept talking to him.

“You can just see it when a player thinks: ‘Dude, leave me alone, man!’”

‘The wait in the hospital car park for him to arrive was the worst time of my life.’
