Anthony Joshua appears to have split from trainer Robert Garcia after promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed he is in the United States building a new team.
'AJ' split with long-term trainer Rob McCracken following his fist defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in the United Kingdom last year and linked up with experienced American Garcia. Joshua attempted to get his revenge over Usyk in August and went with a gameplan formulated by Garcia, but came up short by split decision in their Saudi Arabia rematch.
It appeared that Garcia had been critical of Joshua in a Spanish-speaking interview following the clash, which sparked fears of a split, but it was later ruled as a mistranslation of the American. However, Joshua's promoter Hearn confirmed in a brief update this weekend that his client is once again scouring the US for a new trainer.
