Anthony Joshua, over the past few days, has been at the center of boxing news. The Brit took a stroll to a few boxing gyms in America to figure out what went wrong for him in his fight against Oleksandr Usyk. That said, he met the likes of Eddy Reynoso, Ronnie Shields, and more.

On top of that, ‘AJ’ spent some substantial time with all of these coaches and he even had a few workout sessions. Recently, he spoke to iFL TV about his experience with all of these coaches.

“I spent two days with one of them.”

“They’re all experienced. The only thing I could take away from it is the culture. Like Mexican style, and African Caribbean style. I’m an African Caribbean fighter, so, like Ronnie Shields and Vergil, there’s that father figure element. You know what I mean, and let’s say the language barrier, that’s the only I could take from the two where I got.” he said.

Until now, Joshua hasn’t officially parted ways with his long-time trainer, Rob McCracken.

The Briton is trying everything in his hands to gain as much knowledge and skills as he can from renowned boxing coaches. Also, he’s triggered the rematch with Usyk and this fight might come to life by March 2022. That said, Joshua has some considerable time in hand to add some notable prowess and present his best version inside the ring against Usyk.
