Anthony Fowler is on the lookout for a new trainer after splitting with Dave Coldwell.
The 28-year-old Liverpudlian has been with Rotherham-based former fighter Coldwell since turning professional back in 2017.
Fowler, who competed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, made his debut on the undercard of Errol Spence Jr.'s dethroning of then-IBF world welterweight king Kell Brook at Bramall Lane, the home of Sheffield United Football Club.
He raced to 9-0 with all but one quick before running into fellow 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Scott Fitzgerald. The Preston man inflicted 'The Machine's' first paid defeat, at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, and it's a wrong that Fowler is itching to put right later this year.
Should the rematch be made, though, by the promoter of the pair, Eddie Hearn, it will be a clash Fowler will go into without Coldwell — who led him to two title-winning comeback victories against Brian Rose and Harry Scarff respectively — after the pair split on amicable terms earlier this week.
"I want to say thanks to Dave Coldwell for all his help over the years," Fowler wrote on social media when confirming the news. "[He is] a real top, genuine fella who has taught me a lot over the years [and I'm] really grateful."
Coldwell now has Jordan Gill, the former Commonwealth and WBA International featherweight champion, as well as young duo Hopey Price and Callum Beardow in his stable, while also looking after WBO European and current Commonwealth featherweight champ Leigh Wood.
And he responded with an equally measured post to concur with Fowler's surprise revelation.
"It’s been a real pleasure having [Fowler] in the Coldwell Gym," he wrote. "[He is] a genuinely good kid who loves boxing and gives his all to the sport.
"Although we’ll no longer be working together, myself, my family & the Coldwell Boxing stable wish him all the best for the future."
Fowler is understood to be considering a number of options for the vacant role of head coach and further details will be revealed in due course.
