Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz has hired Eddy Reynoso as his new trainer and will not fight Gervonta Davis next, according to sources who spoke to FightsATW on Thursday evening. The move replaces Cruz Sr., his father, as the man guiding the 28-3-2, 18-KO fighter’s corner.

The update matters because weeks of boxing chatter had pointed to a Davis-Cruz rematch as the fight on the table for Davis, with multiple reports saying he was set to return in the fall. That path now appears to have opened for something else, or at least to have been delayed by Cruz’s coaching change.

Cruz is coming off a majority draw with Lamont Roach in December, a result that kept him relevant in the next round of title-level matchmaking but also left room for a reset. Bringing in Reynoso suggests that reset starts in the gym, not in the ring, and likely before Cruz agrees to another major name fight.

Reynoso has been building out his training operation in San Diego, California, including club shows and a new gym in San Diego County, and Cruz would likely want at least one fight under him before circling back to Davis or Roach. That makes the immediate picture clearer: the rematch talk was real, but it is no longer the next step.

FightsATW said, “Sources tell @FightsATW that Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is now being trained by Eddy Reynoso. #Boxing Also being told that he will NOT be fighting Gervonta Davis next.” The reporting leaves one central question for the division: whether Davis still plans to return in the fall, and if so, who ends up across from him first.
