Anthony Joshua has denied splitting with trainer Rob McCracken but says he is looking for additional input ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua lost to the Ukrainian former cruiserweight in September but immediately exercised his rematch clause which should see the pair face one another for a second time in 2022.
The 31-year-old Briton was well beaten by Usyk in a technical match-up with many believing the former champion was wrong not to use his size and strength advantage.
Since the defeat Joshua has toured gyms in Texas and California, and he told IFL TV what his plans were.
Speaking of retaining McCracken, he said: "Yeah, and he has to speak to the people I may want to work with and see if he can work with them.
"I had the same conversation with Rob, 'I want to work with you, but I also want to work with this guy for six months'.
"Rob might tell me, 'You know what champ, this ain't working for me. For the next six months, you do your thing and come and see me after.'
"It's mature conversations. My life, my health is on the line."
Joshua explained who he had seen on his visit.
"I need to go and get some new teachings from guys that have trained - Robert Garcia trained 13, 14 world champions," he said.
"They've got so many generations of teachings.
"Virgil Hunter trained Andre Ward, a phenomenal fighter.
"I wanted to go around and be in an environment of fighters.
"Eddy Reynoso, 'No boxing, no life.' I love that saying. Canelo is obviously a phenomenal fighter.
"I watched him spar 12 rounds, asked certain questions.
"Ronnie Shields, another African American coach who has worked with the greats."
