The Briton is ready to change his style for the sake of defeating Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch.
WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will fight Anthony Joshua for the second time.
Before the rematch, the British boxer changed his coach, began working with Robert Garcia. According to Joshua, he chose an American because he stood out from other coaches.
“Texas, Fresno, Los Angeles – I saw a lot of coaches before choosing my new one. There were other coaches I never met, but Robert Garcia stood out. He coaches the bad guys.
All heavyweights train because they want to take what’s yours, so you have to train like you’re not there. It is important for a fighter to stay in the gym throughout the year. I know who I’m going up against, so my fight strategy leads me to the fight date.
When I turned pro, I spent the first training camps in Eddie Hear’s garden, where it all began. Then I moved to Tony Sims gym. I probably trained there for the first two or three matches, then I was allowed to train in Sheffield.
I’ve been a professional for nine years, so I’ve been in Sheffield for seven or eight years. It’s the first time I’m not preparing there, but for 11 years I’ve trained with Rob McCracken,” Joshua Boxing Scene quoted the words.
It can be remembered that the rematch between Usyk and Joshua will be held on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The match will take place at the Super Dome in Jeddah.
In the first fight in September 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision, winning the championship belt.
