James: Joshua can beat Usyk with me

“Anthony watches and learns from Errol. They talk a lot, and when Errol trains, AJ watches him practice and learns lessons, ”says Derrick James, new coach Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), who also coaches Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs), world welterweight champion.

The Briton after the second defeat against Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) decided on another replacement of the coach. Now he is preparing under the guidance of James, in addition in America, from which he refrained for a long time. Their first joint fight will take place on April 1 against Jermain Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs).

“I took this job because I believe I can help him become world champion again. I lead two very good southpaws, so I also believe that I can lead him to victory over Usyk. When I watched them fight, I thought: what the hell is he doing? Now we are working on small things that will eventually turn into something much bigger, ”said James.
