Amir Khan will be trained by promoter Frank Warren's matchmaker Dean Powell for his next fight.
Khan today confirmed his split with Manchester-based Oliver Harrison, who trained him for all his 17 professional fights.
Powell, who has trained former world champions Duke McKenzie and Lloyd Honeyghan and worked in the corner with an array of champions including Joe Calzaghe, Nigel Benn and Khan, will move to Bolton on Sunday to work with Khan until his next fight at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on Saturday, June 21.

Promoter Warren is hoping to announce the name of the opponent in Birmingham next week as Olympic silver medallist Khan closes in on a world title fight.
Khan's father Shah revealed that the decision to part company with Harrison was taken because of "a breakdown in communications".
A decision on a permanent trainer will be taken after the next fight, with Khan possibly looking to America.
During his recent trip to Las Vegas for the Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins fight, he worked in the gym with Roger Mayweather, uncle and trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jnr, generally regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter.
