Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: Major change revealed in AJ's camp

Anthony Joshua is bringing in someone a bit more ‘old and experienced’ to work alongside Angel Fernandez ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, according to a report.

The British superstar has made several changes to his training camp as the 32-year-old bids to win back his heavyweight titles in a crucial rematch against the Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia on July 23.

Previous trainer Rob McCracken was heavily criticised in the wake of that defeat and replaced by Fernandez a few months later, while former assistant coach Joby Clayton has also been nowhere to be seen since then.

And according to highly respected boxing outlet Boxing News, AJ, 32, is also hoping to bring in an extra pair of hands to help spread some of the workload.

Fernandez, who trains his charges out of Loughborough University, holds the position as head trainer in Joshua’s set up but it seems the Brit is looking to add further experience alongside the Spaniard.

And Joshua will need all the help he can get when he faces Usyk, 35, for the second time this summer.

The Olympics hero was comfortably outclassed over 12 rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September dashing any hopes of an all-British undisputed clash with Tyson Fury.

Usyk is expected to defend all four crowns he won during their scrap but budding heavyweight Frazer Clarke believes Joshua has got a good team of people around him.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Clarke said: “I think the loss has made him better.

“He’s opened his eyes a bit. It’s made him mentally better. I think he knows what he needs to do.

“I think he’s changed his situation, which he thinks will help him. He’s got a team of people that are dedicated for one thing, and that’s AJ getting the result.
