Former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) is unlikely to charter coach Robert Garcia, who prepared him for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk and brought the Briton into a decent look for the next fight. He hinted at this in a comment.
Sporting News.
The Briton said that he “greatly respects” the American coach, “he is a really good person and coach,” and did not reject the option of future cooperation.
But, he says, he explained to Robert himself that “I want to be a free spirit.”
“I locked myself up for 11 years with one coach, and now I just feel like I just want to learn as much as possible,” said the heavyweight, and it is immediately clear that he is unlikely to call Garcia for the next fight.

As Joshua puts it, “I feel like I’m in a position where I can work with anyone.”
“So who knows what will happen next year,” Anthony blurted.
Here’s what Garcia said after AJ’s last fight: “Hats off to Usyk.” Robert’s post-match words that Joshua lost mentally caused a scandal. Later, the coach began to prove that he did not say this. He also spoke about a possible fight with Wilder.
