"I said in Joshua, when I was an undefeated boxer, I wanted him to come to my boxing gym for training and I could tell him to knock on the door, but he didn't do it. I would like to say that some coaches are suitable for teaching amateur boxing, some are suitable for teaching professional boxing, and coaches who can bring out excellent amateur boxers may not be able to train good professional boxers." Mayweather said.
It is reported that Joshua and Usik's rematch will take place at the end of March this year.
