Eddie Reynoso, perhaps the most famous boxing trainer today, expressed his willingness to work with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs). Thus, AJ will soon be able to train in the same gym with Andy Ruiz, with whom he had two memorable fights.

Former two-time world heavyweight champion after losing Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) decided to make changes to his training staff and visited several well-known boxing gyms in America. Among other things, this was the gym where Reynoso trains stars such as Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Ryan Garcia, Oscar Valdez or the aforementioned Ruiz Jr. He was photographed with various well-known coaches, but has not yet named the name of the one who will prepare him for a rematch with Usyk.

“Everything really depends on the right timing. I spoke with Eddie Hearn and Joshua's team. Let's see when he will fight and who it will be. Would I like to train him? Of course, this is my job. Let's see what happens, but I'll be happy to prepare him for a rematch with Usyk, ”said Reynoso, who sees elements in Joshua's boxing that he would like to work on.

“Anthony has many virtues, many good physical qualities, but he does not use them to the maximum. He needs to work on distance and combinations. It all depends on the dates of the battles, for our part, we are ready, ”added Reynoso.
