Amir Khan has appointed Miami-based Cuban Jorge Rubio as his new trainer.
The 21-year-old lightweight, unbeaten in 19 professional bouts, used Dean Powell as a stop-gap after splitting from Oliver Harrison earlier this year.
Khan went to America this month to find a new coach and chose Rubio, who has flown to Bolton to start his new role.
"I met with lots of trainers in America and had plenty of training sessions with them but I was impressed most by Jorge and his set-up," said Khan.
"More importantly, I felt comfortable working with him and his training methods will give me a new dimension.
"I am delighted Jorge is now my trainer. I look forward to working with him towards winning the world title."
