Anthony Joshua needs new coach, says British middleweight Chris Eubank Jr

Chris Eubank Jr. says that Anthony Joshua should change trainers.

Joshua lost his world title when he was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk in September and has since worked with trainers.

He needs some new blood. He needs to get some new eyes and ears.

He has to come with a different gameplan if he is going to have a second fight.

Obviously, that comes with having a new trainer. I think that is the right move.

Changing trainers can lead to success, as evidenced by the fact that Eubank spent time training with Joshua.

Roy Jones Jr., who is considered to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, is now the trainer of Chris Eubank, who has been training alone for many years.

The two fights that Jones Jr and Eubank have fought have been very good.

The boxer says he is getting better.

He is great. I am learning every day. He is living with me. We are in the gym learning, tweaking and planning and it has been a great experience.

To reach the levels he reached, you have to be a genius. Everyone who is a world champion has a level of genius inside of them. Roy can articulate that.

That is the difference between him and a lot of fighters.

Most great fighters are not great trainers because they don't know how to explain what they know.

Roy is able to explain everything in great detail. Even at 32 years old, I am still learning.

Williams trainer switch 'act of desperation'

The next fight for Eubank is against Liam Williams.

Williams said he would be teaming up with Adam Booth before the fight.

The news of Williams and Booth joining forces didn't impress the 32-year-old, who has previously worked with Eubank.

It is an act of desperation. It says a lot that he needs someone like Adam Booth to beat me. Adam Booth worked with me for a few months years ago.

I'm a completely different fighter now. Nothing is going to save him even if he has someone in his corner.

Over the years, he has been involved in several domestic grudge matches. Where does Williams rank in that list?

It is up there. It is a very personal fight for me now with the things he said before the fight.

He has gone way below the belt. He crossed the line with what he said to me online.

The key word is that when we were at the press conference and the gloves were off, he bottled it.

He didn't have anything to say for himself. I expect those first punches to land on February 5th.

Can Eubank secure a world title shot?

It feels like a now or never moment for Eubank if he is to make it to the top of his sport.

A win over Williams could lead to a fight with Gennady Golovkin.

I dedicate myself and live a clean life. He insisted that he can perform for many more years but now is the time.

We are planning for world titles after I take Williams out. We are going to go for it.

The number one fight I have been wanting to secure for a long time is Gennady Golovkin.

It is easier said than done, but that is the fight we are going to be pushing for.

We are going for any world title, any big name.
