Heavyweight icon Anthony Joshua is currently at a crucial stage after losing his unified heavyweight straps to Oleksandr Usyk on September 25. He is no longer the top-notch persona of the division and seems to have lost his right to claim a four-belt unification matchup. Winning the rematch against Usyk is the only thing that can bring him back to relevance.
Anthony Joshua understands the importance of his next move and is already hunting for a new coach.
The Brit star recently visited the USA and met several legendary trainers. He visited Eddy Reynoso’s gym and Ronnie Shields’ gym. Although ‘AJ’ hasn’t clarified anything regarding his training status, several factors favor him to go under a new stable.
