Canelo Alvarez's trainer Eddy Reynoso has indicated that he's now held further talks with Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn about potentially coaching AJ for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk next year.

The Brit spent time in America last month, following the Usyk defeat, and was spotted in various gyms during his trip.

Joshua has since clarified that no decision on his training future has yet been made.

He insisted this US tour was mainly for the purpose of gaining experience from other coaches, but did not rule out the possibility of working with one of them for the Usyk rematch.

Reynoso was among the four esteemed trainers who AJ went to see.

He first spent a day talking with the Mexican at his house, before next visiting his San Diego gym to watch his star pupil Canelo in sparring.

Now, Reynoso has seemed to suggest that he's held further talks with AJ and his promoter.

When asked for an update on whether he'd be coaching Joshua, Reynoso told reporters: "It would be a matter of seeing the times.

";We spoke with Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua and we will see what can be done next year.

"It is my job and of course I would like."

Regarding what AJ must improve, Reynoso added: "He needs to work more distance, better combinations.

"He has many physical qualities and I think he does not take advantage of them."
