Anthony Joshua Links Up With Soccer Legend David Beckham as His Pursuit for New Trainer Continues

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.

Regardless of that, Joshua is relishing his time outside the ring and he’s also meeting some top-notch athletes across different sporting verticals. Recently, the former unified heavyweight king met the soccer legend, and one of the greatest English soccer players, David Beckham.
