Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua had split with his coach Robert Garcia

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua had split with his coach Robert Garcia as he looks to get back to winning ways in the ring, saying that the Watford-born heavyweight will make his boxing return in the spring at the 02 Arena. The 33-year-old had split from his long-time trainer Rob McCracken after his first defeat by Usyk, deciding to work with Garcia who was reportedly behind Joshua’s game plan in the second fight.

But Hearn confirmed that Joshua is currently out in the US building a new team to have around him as he plans his assent back up the boxing ranks. Meanwhile, Hearn has confirmed the news that Joshua would return to the ring in the spring, with the heavyweight set to fight at the 02 Arena. Joshua has not fought at the 02 since he defeated Dominic Breazeale by knockout in his first-ever title defence back in 2016.
