Anthony Joshua 'will be trained by Robert Garcia ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk... with American set to travel to England to train him' ahead of blockbuster fight scheduled for July in Saudi Arabia

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.
