Rob Mccraken

Post by TopGun »

I was expecting to see him in the corner for Joe Joyce's fight last night. In fact I haven't seen him out there at all. I thought he headed the whole thing up?

Not allowed while he is still a pro coach, think he will be leaving the GB set up, now the Olympics are over.

He's Performance Director so the corner work isn't really his remit is it?

Does he train any pros now Froch has retired? Think he does quite a bit with Joshua but isn't his official trainer.

Not sure if Froch is retired yet, but heard that Robert McCracken might be taking over Joshua and few extra ex GB fighters, that have been kept on ice for him, plus some that turnover from GB after the Olympics into the pros, maybe his contract with GB was only until the Brazil Olympics ?

I've said for years that he's the best trainer in UK and one of the best in the world. Anyone training under him can improve if they listen. His corner advice is always spot on.
