Anthony Joshua has rehired Ben Davison as his trainer for his upcoming fight against Tyson Fury, despite having worked with him previously. Davison, who trained Fury in his early career, is expected to provide valuable insights and guidance for Joshua's preparation. Additionally, Peter Fury, Tyson Fury's uncle, has also agreed to assist Joshua in the lead-up to their December 11 bout in Cardiff.

Peter Fury trained Fury in his early years and is known for his role in Fury's historic upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. The pairing of Davison and Peter Fury creates an intriguing dynamic, as both men bring unique perspectives and experiences to Joshua's corner. Tyson Fury, on the other hand, remains confident in his ability to defeat Joshua, vowing to "blast him out of there" and "catch him," claiming that he won't merely box but "throw down."

While preparing for the highly anticipated match, both boxers have engaged in a series of dramatic exchanges, with Fury recalling their 2011 sparring session, where Joshua left the ring with a black eye. Despite the tension, the two have expressed mutual respect for each other's accomplishments.
