"For my next fight, my official trainer will be Robert Garcia," stated former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who recently took to his Twitter page to confirm that he has made yet another change to his team and is now working with world-class trainer Robert Garcia. The decision to switch trainers comes on the heals of Chavez Jr.'s shocking 9th round TKO loss to Andrzej Fonfara last month.
It was the first and only fight that Chavez Jr. had with world-class trainer Joe Goossen, who he decided to work with after parting ways with long-time trainer Freddie Roach. Although an opponent has yet to be finalized, plans are already in the works for Chavez Jr. to make his return to the ring on July 18. The frontrunner to land the assignment is Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs).
