Anthony Joshua has admitted he gave coach Angel Fernandez the responsibility of picking a new trainer for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua, 32, is aiming to become a three-time heavyweight champion by winning his belts back from Usyk this Saturday, 11 months after losing them in London. Following his defeat, Joshua was encouraged to part ways with longtime trainer Robert McCracken and has since enlisted new head trainer in Robert Garcia.
The decision to partner with Garcia came after Joshua went on a coaching tour in the US, working with the likes of Eddie Reynoso and Virgil Hunter during his search for a new trainer. Ultimately the Brit partnered with Garcia and Joshua explained why he let Fernandez make the decision rather than himself.
