Two-division world champion TIMOTHY "Desert Storm" BRADLEY JR., (32-1-1, 12 KOs) has announced that he hired veteran trainer Teddy Atlas to prepare him for the upcoming HBO televised showdown with former world champion BRANDON "Bam Bam" RIOS (33-2-1, 23 KOs) on November 7th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Their first fight together will be officially announced next Wednesday at a press conference in Los Angeles.

Last week Bradley parted ways with longtime trainer Joel Diaz, which came on heels of finalizing his agreement for the Rios fight. Rios is trained by Robert Garcia.

Atlas is best known for working with heavyweights like Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, Alexander Povetkin, Shannon Briggs and Michael Grant. He's worked with, and helped, several other fighters over the years but he's very selective with the fighters he decides to train.

Atlas is based on the East Coast and Bradley lives on the West, so the training camp process has yet to be revealed. Atlas also has his television duties for Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN, but he's been able to work around that schedule in the past.

The WBO has yet to rule if Bradley's welterweight title will be at stake. Sadam Ali is the mandatory challenger and not looking to step aside quietly.
