Joshua 'will be trained by Garcia ahead of his rematch with Usyk'

Anthony Joshua has reportedly brought in Robert Garcia as his new trainer ahead of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk later this year.

The Brit was comprehensively beaten by the Ukrainian via unanimous decision when the pair met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September last year.

Joshua subsequently went on a tour of the United States and visited several gyms in the country, including Garcia's as well as those of Virgil Hunter, Eddy Reynoso and Ronnie Shields.

But ESPN claim Joshua has now settled on Garcia - who was named the 2012 Trainer of the Year - after having believed to have split with long-time coach Rob McCracken.

Now he is set to travel to England to see if he can help Joshua to bounce back in a showdown against Usyk which is still being scheduled for July 23 in Saudi Arabia. 

It is understood the 32-year-old has been working with assistant coach Angel Fernandez in the meantime since his defeat.

Garcia himself was a world champion in his fighting days, winning a super-featherweight title in 1998, only to go on to surrender the belt 12 months later.

But as a trainer the 47-year-old has led no fewer than 14 boxers to world titles and is held in high esteem in the sport for creating game plans and being able to make tactical adjustments.
