“I know who the new trainer is,” Eddie Hearn tells DAZN of his fighter, Anthony Joshua’s seek for a brand new coach. “It’s quite a personal thing really.” In different phrases, Hearn, goes to let Joshua himself reveal who the brand new face will probably be in his nook, although it’s rumored that the person goes to be Derrick James. “I think it’s for a fighter to announce that, with his new team,” Hearn continues. “I speak a lot, I do a lot of interviews. I’ll speak on his fights.” Whoever the coach could also be, if it’s somebody new it is going to be the third coach in as many fights for Joshua.
With that being mentioned, Hearn makes it clear that Joshua goals to hop throughout the Atlantic as soon as once more to coach within the United States. “He is going to train in America and he is going to start that camp in the next week, he’ll be flying out. So you guys will get the news soon,” he says. “The problem is being in the UK,” provides Hearn, “he can’t breathe. When he goes to America, people know he is, but it’s like a different world.” Ultimately, Hearn makes it clear he feels heading stateside is the suitable transfer for his fighter. “I think it’s going to be really good for him. I think you’re going to see a reinvigorated Anthony Joshua.”
One factor that isn’t a thriller is when Joshua will return to the ring. “April 1st is our targeted date in London,” Hearn says. “I’ll go through the final list of opponents. We’re almost ready. He’s excited.” Hearn has indicated he feels Joshua must ease again into the heavyweight scene, so don’t anticipate the previous titlist to be dealing with names like Fury or Wilder, or maybe even Joyce come the spring.
It looks as if simply yesterday that Joshua was thought-about, if not the outright king of the heavyweight division, then considered one of a handful of people that might or ultimately could be. Since that point, nevertheless, he’s dropped two in a row to Ukrainian talent set Oleksandr Usyk. Neither combat was significantly shut. Now he’s within the means of as soon as extra getting snug within the ring earlier than attempting to face one of many division’s massive canine as soon as once more. With Usyk and Fury planning to combat a minimum of as soon as and Deontay Wilder and previous Joshua foe Andy Ruiz probably squaring off, there will probably be loads of massive names on the market ready for him.
