Anthony Joshua<\/a> is finally set to take on Tyson Fury<\/a>, and promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that a world-renowned trainer will be helping Joshua prepare for his showdown with \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018AJ\u2019 has teamed up with Team Usyk for his last two professional contests, with Iegor Golub acting as lead trainer in back-to-back knockout wins against Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga within the last 10 months.<\/p>\n

Despite being victorious, Joshua has been criticised for not dispatching of Paul quicker and for twice being dropped by unknown Albanian Prenga<\/a> ahead of his long-awaited bout with fellow two-time heavyweight ruler Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n

In a clip captured by Pro Boxing Fans<\/a>, Hearn has revealed that Ben Davison, a former trainer of both Fury and Joshua who he labelled as \u2018one of the best in the world\u2019, will be involved in \u2018AJ\u2019s camp for the December 11 clash which will take place in Cardiff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when Ben wasn\u2019t his principal trainer \u2013 he was just working with him \u2013 strategically, talking all of the time, I think he respects Ben a lot. Obviously, there is probably a feeling that Ben Davison knows Tyson Fury extremely well.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I think that he is one of the best trainers in the world. I don\u2019t know AJ\u2019s final decision as to where he is going to locate his training camp but Ben Davison will definitely be involved in that camp and in that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is unknown whether Davison will be re-appointed as Joshua\u2019s lead trainer in Golub\u2019s place or if the pair will work together as part of a wider \u2018AJ\u2019 coaching unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Joshua is finally set to take on Tyson Fury, and promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":787093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-787092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=787092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/787093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=787092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=787092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=787092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
