world welterweight champion has recruited legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach to help hone his skills even more. Roach is the man behind WBO world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and the resurgence of Britain’s WBA light-welterweight king Amir Khan.
Roach has had 25 world champions through his famous Wildcard Gym and has previously worked with other MMA stars, including Anderson Silva.
A member of the Roach team revealed: “Freddie is very much at home with MMA fighters and can really help them.

“People like GSP are at the top of their game, but it won’t do any harm to pick up some of the tips Freddie can give them.”
St Pierre is set to defend his title against Josh Koscheck in a rematch from their UFC 74 fight back in August 2007.
St Pierre out-wrestled him on that occasion, but Koscheck said: “Georges, you better work on your power because I’m going to force you to stand up with me and I’m going to knock you out.”
GSP and Koscheck will be coaches on the upcoming season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, with their rematch later this year.
