Nigerian-Bristish born boxer Anthony Joshua has hired a new trainer and has relocated to United United for an intense training schedule.
His promoter Eddie Hearn who disclosed this while speaking during The DAZN Boxing Show, said Joshua will start his fight camp for his April 1 fight any moment soon as the two-time heavyweight champion is aiming to bounce back after two crushing defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
“I know who the new trainer is. It’s quite a personal thing really,” he said.
“I think it’s for a fighter to announce that, with his new team. I speak a lot, I do a lot of interviews. I’ll speak on his fights.
“He is going to train in America and he is going to start that camp in the next week, he’ll be flying out. So you guys will get the news soon.”
Talking about his plans for a new fight, he said, “April 1st is our targeted date in London. I’ll go through the final list of opponents. We’re almost ready. He’s excited.
“I’m happy with the trainer. I‘m happy with anyone who makes Joshua feel comfortable, motivated, and excited. I think this is going to be a nice break.”
The promoter said that Joshua feels more comfortable in the US which was the motivation behind the move out of UK.
Ahead of his rematch with the Ukrainian in August, the 33-year-old opted to bring in Robert Garcia as his coach.
Despite looking a lot more aggressive than in his first loss, Joshua opted to replace the renowned Garcia after he lost that bout.
