Anthony JoshuaFight almost fell apart last minute, says insiderBoxing manager, Adrian Clark, has disclosed that Anthony Joshua looks ‘amazing’ under new trainer, Derrick James.
Joshua is currently out in America preparing with James for his upcoming clash against Jermaine Franklin, reports express.co.uk.The Watford powerhouse acquired the services of the 2017 Ring Magazine trainer of the year after parting ways with previous lead, Robert Garcia.
Joshua and Garcia had only been working together for four months before the split.The pair linked up prior to AJ’s second fight with Oleksandr Usyk in August but after coming up short again, Joshua announced that he would be touring America in search of a new coach.
Joshua is understood to have visited Virgil Hunter and James, opting to go with the latter.Reports had flown around for weeks that James was heading up Joshua’s next camp, but that wasn’t officially confirmed until a press release for the Franklin fight on Monday spilt the beans.
