ANTHONY JOSHUA has picked his new trainer and will start his fight camp for his April 1 fight next week.
The two-time heavyweight champion is aiming to bounce back after two crushing defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
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 that bout.
He has now been searching for his next trainer, but his promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed on @DAZNBoxing that the Brit has now picked the man he wants.
The Matchroom chief is remaining tight-lipped on the identity of the coach.
