If Joshua wants any chance to beat Usyk, he's going to need someone who's going to teach him how to be a bully and learn how to fight on the inside, use his size and pressure properly. Problem is, to learn that, it takes time, it's not going to happen from one fight to the next. In my opinion, learn, take an interm fight, and then go after Usyk.

This is Josua's problem: The "who wants to train me" show! Loves the spotlight more than the sport.

Time to join the stewards team or freddy roach

[REDEEMER]

Ali Bashir should have been the logical choice . Then Stacey McKingley .

Isn't the fight in March? How do you not have a trainer yet?

[joe strong]

Kronk gym or Ronnie Shields. Ajagba has regressed since leaving Shields. He still has never trained a HW champion but he has trained some good big HWs.

He needs to find someone who can teach him the fundamentals: footwork, head movement, how to slip, roll etc

This is the best decision AJ will make in his career. I compare Joshua to Cotto, another fighter that changed his style mid-career to adopt one that wasn't as favorable to him; they continue to be excellent fighters and even dominant against lesser opponents, but fail to be at their best against the best due to their lack of ring generalship in their adopted style.

Joshua should revert to the pre-Parker Joshua, the boxer-puncher that presses forward patiently behind the jab and counters mistakes. He's faster offensively and defensively and more fluid than he was before the style change so he can be even better than before. Canelo's the best today utilizing the exact style he needs to implement and Reynoso might be the best option, although all the trainers mentioned have trained a top fighter with the qualities that AJ has to implement and can help him make that adjustment. The gap between Joshua and Usyk in the first fight isn't much that a change in approach won't change.

Hopefully, he gets the trainer that he learns the best under because boxing and the heavyweight division is better with AJ in the mix.

Joshua should go with Roach, who's the only one who can bring out his aggressiveness, cause that's his only chance. The is just no way he is going to outbox Usyk, so...
