Welterweight contender Josesito Lopez announced today via social media that he will be the newest member of the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy stable as he will now be trained by Robert Garcia. Lopez parted ways with career long trainer Henry Ramirez a few months back, saying he wanted to take things in a new direction. Their last pairing ended with a loss to Andre Berto this past March.
After suffering a hand injury in that fight, Josesito was cleared to begin training again by his doctor a week and half ago. Though there is no news on who his next opponent will be, Lopez is already back in the gym with his new trainer and has mentioned wanting to fight the likes of Danny Garcia, Amir Khan, and other top welterweights.
