    Anthony Joshua will have new elite trainer Derrick James in his corner against Jermaine Franklin after being confirmed as his boxing coach.

    Thoughts on Derrick? Any good? Is elite as they say?

    He will need to be elite to get AJ mentally firing again.

    It is said that he trained Jermell Charlo and Errol Spence Jr. So, he must be a good trainer.

    You can’t train a Glass Jaw. None of this matters.

    For all the **** that AJ gets, he's still a top 5 HW. He has the physical tools, he just needs to level up his mental game.

    Derrick is a pupil of the late great Curtis Cokes. He's making a name for himself for sure. As for him training AJ ?
    I think most of AJ's problems are mental not physical. Can Derrick solve these? We'll see

    Derrick won't be telling AJ he is "brilliant" no matter what.
