Anthony Joshua v Robert Helenius

[Master]

AJ has a new and highly regarded trainer but looked poor against Franklin. He was hesitant and cautious which would be disastrous against Wilder. AJ must be confident, and his training camp must be going well for him to agree a match-up against Whyte without a rematch clause. Especially with a lucrative bout with Wilder lined up next.

This is a good test to see how AJ is developing with Derrick James. AJ has to look sharp, focused and devastating against Whyte. Dillian will take the fight to AJ, they are local rivals and they do not like one another. This will end in a knockout.

“I recall when I was training for Usyk, and I had Robert Garcia onboard,” Joshua told talkSPORT. "The fight date kept getting pushed back and the general conversation in the Usyk camp was ‘We need this fight to happen soon, because we don’t want AJ to spend as much time as possible with Robert Garcia.’”

"In my mind I was like, I didn’t feel like I was being taught anything, so I didn’t think it mattered if I spent a year [with him], I was still going to do my thing anyway. With Derrick James, I soak up every second I'm in that gym. Whether I'm successful or not, [new trainer] Derrick James is the truth. The time spent with him is very valuable. It all starts from the mind, it's not just the mitts. He's got a really good mindset."

"The situation I found myself in Garcia... I was actually working with Angel Fernandez and Angel knew that he needed to grow his experience so I left it with him to decide who he felt he would connect with best," he said. "I believe that there's not much point in the athlete in making a decision if the trainer doesn't respect the other coach in the room.
