Anthony Joshua reunites with Tyson Fury’s former trainer ahead of British blockbuster

  • Anthony Joshua is expected to face Tyson Fury on 11 December at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, with the long-awaited British heavyweight showdown set to be confirmed in the coming weeks following months of negotiations.
  • Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that trainer Ben Davison will be involved in Joshua’s training camp, bringing strategic value due to his intimate knowledge of Fury's fighting style.
  • Davison famously trained Fury during his 2018 boxing comeback, cornering him for fights against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta, as well as his controversial draw against Deontay Wilder.
  • Joshua previously achieved mixed results under Davison, securing stoppage wins against Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou before suffering a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
  • Following wins over Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga while working with members of Oleksandr Usyk's corner team, Joshua is now returning to Davison for his tactical preparation against Fury.
