Anthony Joshua has revealed his new head trainer as he prepares to take on Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch.
Joshua was at the UK vs. USA boxing event at Wembley on Saturday night. He spoke to Michelle Joy Phelps from Behind the Gloves about his new main trainer, Angel Fernandez:
"Yeah I'm working with Angel Fernandez right now... Yeah so he's been in my camp for the last three years anyway. He's been at the last three of my world championship fights."
Take a look at the interview below:
'AJ' looked in good spirits throughout the interview as he joked around with passers-by. Fernandez will be taking over the reins from Rob McCracken, who was criticized for his tactics in Joshua's first fight with Usyk. McCracken had been with the fighter from his amateur days.

Following his loss to Usyk, Joshua traveled around the United States in search of a new head coach. He trained with the likes of Eddy Reynoso and Virgil Hunter. Now the former Unified Heavyweight Champion has finally made a decision on his main trainer, who incidentally has been in Joshua's corner for a while now as an assistant coach.

"Put some money on Dill [Dillian Whyte]. I feel like it's gonna be a good fight bro. Like Dillian's no pushover man. You know what I'm saying?

Joshua has put his money on Dillian Whyte, the heavy underdog going into the bout. In boxing, one punch can change the whole fight. However, Whyte will have his task cut out against a man who's undoubtedly the best heavyweight of his generation. 'The Body Snatcher' will have to put on the greatest performance of his life to upset the undefeated Fury.
