Anthony Joshua switches trainers again and will use Tyson Fury’s ex-coach Ben Davison for next fight vs Otto Wallin
Anthony Joshua is reportedly set to be trained by Tyson Fury's ex-coach Ben Davison for his next fight.
AJ will take on Otto Wallin on December 23 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as part of an event he will share with Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker.
Davison has experience with Wallin, having previously trained Fury for his victory over him in 2019.
This remains the Swedish heavyweight's only defeat to date.
However, it was the last time Fury and Davison worked together as the Gypsy King was badly cut in that fight and viewed to have significantly underperformed.
He switched things up and appointed SugarHill Steward, who remains his trainer to this day.

The split between Fury and Davison was amicable though.
The pair shared a partnership for two years and Davison is often credited by the WBC heavyweight world champion as one of the men who helped him most in his remarkable 2018 comeback.
Since then, the trainer has been active with several other big names including former WBO super-middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders and current WBA featherweight world champion Leigh Wood.
He's also played a role in former undisputed lightweight world champion Devin Haney's training camps.
