Anthony Joshua admits he spent his US trip sounding out potential new trainers as the former heavyweight champion says he welcomes Tyson Fury's offer to help him prepare for his Oleksandr Usyk rematch
Joshua, 32, lost his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles to the wily Ukrainian southpaw last month at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, with the Briton comprehensively outclassed over 12 rounds.
AJ has activated his rematch clause and is expected to face Usyk again in March next year, with pundits and fans doubtful that the 32-year-old can refine his style in such a short space of time to avenge his defeat in North London.

'He's more than welcome to come through the door,' Joshua told "iFL TV. 'He can even spar with me.
'That'd be the easiest way to get him in the ring… He's more than welcome to step into the gym and give me some tips.'
