Anthony Joshua has a big decision to make as he seeks to reclaim his title in the rematch against Usyk.
British boxer Anthony Joshua has a big decision to make ahead of his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua seeks to reclaim his title back when he face Usyk in their rematch but can regain his world titles with a “great coach” in Rob McCracken, says friend and sparring partner Frazer Clarke.
Joshua visited a number of trainers in America as he considers expanding his coaching team after losing his world heavyweight titles in last month’s points defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The British star is expected to continue working with McCracken, who helped him reclaim his WBA, IBF and WBO belts in a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr.
“They are both grown men. They have both been in boxing for a long time,” says Clarke, who received expert coaching from McCracken in the Team GB set-up and has sparred numerous rounds with Joshua.
“Rob, for me, is one of the best people I’ve ever met in the sport. He’s done more for me and various fighters up and down the country, that people might not know about. He’s helped everyone.
“A great coach and just a great person.
“Anthony, he’s at the level he’s at now. He’s got big decisions to make.
“I just think he’s in that position where he needs to do what’s best for him. If he feels he needs to make changes then he will go ahead and do that. If he feels he’s maybe got to change something himself, he’ll do that also.
“I’ve not spoken too much to him, but as far as I know at the minute, the situation is exactly the same and I would like to see him return to Sheffield and work with Rob and get it right next time.”
