Will Shields train Anthony Joshua?
Eddie Hearn confirmed Anthony Joshua will have a new trainer ahead of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua surrendered his WBA, IBF and WBO titles to Usyk in an underwhelming performance that saw criticism aimed towards current trainer Rob McCracken.
Since the defeat, Joshua has been in various gyms in America and has worked with Eddy Reynoso - trainer of Canelo Alvarez - and Ronnie Shields.
"But he's worked hard to get it right. A lot of people have said, 'do you think it's risky to bring in a new trainer?' I flip that and say, 'do you think it's risky to not be comfortable with your setup or your surroundings?'"

Other fighters he has trained with includes Holyfield, Vernon Forrest, Pernell Whitaker, Arturo Gatti and Juan Diaz.
