JAKARTA - The indication of Eddy Reynoso joining Anthony Joshua's coaching team is getting stronger after the two are rumored to be holding further talks to prepare for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk next year.

Anthony Joshua has spent time in the United States after losing the WBA Super, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles after losing to Usyk in the match that took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham, England, September 25, 2021.

Since then, Joshua has not decided whether he will replace his old coach Rob McCracken or not. But Joshua has traveled and visited a number of gyms in Uncle Sam's country.

As reported by Antara from Talk Sport, there are at least four coaches that Joshua has met, one of whom is Reynoso who is the coach of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. The British boxer visited Reynoso's house before finally visiting the gym in San Diego and watching Canelo train.

"It's just a matter of time, we spoke with promoters Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua and we'll see what can be done next year. This is my job and of course, I'm going to like it," Reynoso said.

On this occasion, Reynoso also said that Joshua needed to make a number of improvements in order to avenge the defeat to Usyk in the first match.

"He needs to work further and improve the combination. He has a good physique and I don't think he takes advantage of it."
