Anthony Joshua succumbed to a disheartening defeat to Oleksandr Usyk a couple of months back. Since then, he’s been in the news for his hunt for a new trainer. That said, Joshua took a stroll to America and met the likes of Ronnie Shields and Eddy Reynoso. Yet, there’s no genuine news as to whom he will finalize as his head coach.

“No drink up at this link up #VibesCantDone” wrote Joshua with a picture of him and Beckham.
