Anthony Joshua should not have taken immediate Ruiz rematch, says ex-trainer (video)

Tony Sims is a highly respected trainer, having taken Darren Barker to a world title and currently working with an array of talent including Ricky Burns, Martin J Ward and Joe Cordina. It is perhaps easy to forget he was also the coach who supervised the early stages of the Anthony Joshua professional journey.
