, ‘Get out my comfort zone’ – Anthony Joshua confirms he is trialling new coaches… but has NOT split from Rob McCracken

ANTHONY JOSHUA has been trialling new coaches in America but insists he hasn’t split with long-term trainer Rob McCracken.

Joshua is open to expanding his training team after losing the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles to Oleksandr Usyk last month.

Usyk defeated AJ via unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London and the two heavyweights appear set for a rematch.

The British superstar has been training in various different gyms in the US but has not separated from McCracken, who guided him to two world titles.

Joshua told IFLTV when asked if his trainer would stay put: “Yeah, and he has to speak to the people I may want to work with and see if he can work with them.

“I had the same conversation with Rob, ‘I want to work with you, but I also want to work with this guy for six months’.

“Rob might tell me, ‘You know what champ, this ain’t working for me. For the next six months, you do your thing and come and see me after.’ “It’s mature conversations. My life, my health is on the line.

“I wanted to go around and be in an environment of fighters.
