Anthony Joshua was in attendance at the Deji vs Alex Wassabi Showtime PPV that took place in London today. Consequently, after an eventful set of fights, the former heavyweight champion engaged in a conversation with Michelle Joy Phelps of Behind the Gloves.
In this interview, Michelle asked AJ about his decision regarding a new trainer or whether he has someone in his mind. It has been no secret that the former champion is looking for a new trainer as he had publicly expressed his wish for a change in environment in training camps after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk last year.
While having this conversation, he confirmed the change and revealed that Angel Fernandez who is based out of London will be his new trainer. “Yeah, I’m working with Angel Fernandez now. In London, he has been in my camp for the last three years anyway. He’s been at the last three world championships,” said Joshua.
