British boxer of Nigerian descent Anthony Joshua has parted ways with Coach Robert Garcia.

The split means that Joshua has changed two trainers in 2022 after he parted ways with long-term trainer Rob McCracken following his first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021.

Joshua's bid to reclaim his lost belts this time with Robert Garcia as trainer hit a snag as he lost the rematch to the Ukrainian via a split decision in August.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has disclosed that the 32-year-old is in the US as he looks to build a new team before facing his next opponent.

“No, he is good. He is out in America at the moment working on his new team, Hearn told Behind The Gloves.

“He is getting that together and then we will get an opponent sorted and the date is pretty much locked in.

“It is pretty much sorted, and we are looking forward to seeing him return.”

AJ is expected to make his return to the ring next year.
