In the process of choosing a new coach, former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) traveled to the United States and spent some time in the gyms of several top coaches before finally settling on Robert Garcia.
The Briton told what he “pecked” in the case with him.
“Texas, Fresno, Los Angeles… I saw a lot of coaches everywhere before choosing my new coach. But Garcia stood out among them. He’s a bad boy coach,” Joshua told JD Sports.
On August 20, Joshua will meet Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) for the second time and will try to take revenge from him in order to regain the IBF, WBA and WBO belts.
Usyk responded to those who consider his victory over Joshua easy
Public opinion tends to suggest that Anthony will try to be much more aggressive in the return fight: for this, they say, he hired Garcia.
Robert himself said last year: everyone lisps with Joshua, I won’t have that.
