The Welshman and two-time world title contender, who will now be based in London, confirmed the news on Instagram today, having left the Ingle Gym about a fortnight ago.
“Can’t wait to showcase everything that we are working on starting with Eubank Jr - 29th January in Cardiff,” he wrote.
"Exciting times ahead.”

Hide AdIt is understood 29-year-old middleweight Williams had grown unhappy in Sheffield but Ingle insisted there were no hard feelings between the pair, who worked together for three years.
He told The Star earlier this week: “We haven’t had a falling out.
"He said he thought he was getting a bit stale and wanted to move on. He just wants a change of scenery with what he’s doing.
"We have had a good relationship and three good years. We took him from being dead in the water to a world title fight.”

Hide AdWilliams’ much-anticipated fight against Eubank Jr has been rescheduled from December 11 to January 29, owing to what he claimed was a recurrence of the shoulder injury he sustained in his world title fight against Demetrius Andrade in April.
Booth’s current stable includes former Olympians Josh Kelly and Michael Conlan.
Meanwhile, boxing referee Steve Gray has been called to a meeting with the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) to explain his actions in Bradley Skeete’s fight against Hamzah Sheeraz last weekend.
The meeting is expected to take place ‘in the next week or so’, according to a BBBoC spokesperson.

Hide AdSheffield-based Skeete was thought to be comfortably ahead on the judges’ scorecards before he was struck by a succession of 'disgusting' illegal blows from his opponent and stopped in the next round.
The 34-year-old, who trains at the Ingle Gym, said the barrage of punches while he was on the canvas ‘could have caused me serious damage.’
He told The Star: “It knocked me out, I slumped off to the side. It’s disgusting."
Sheeraz claimed it was unintentional and has offered Skeete a rematch.
Amer Khan, Skeete's trainer, described his fighter’s impressive performance up until that point – a turning point in the fight – as ‘a masterclass’.
