Who is Anthony Joshua's trainer? Why heavyweight made yet another change in advance of Tyson Fury fight

Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight boxing champion, has made changes to his training setup ahead of his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury. Joshua, who is often criticized for his privileged lifestyle in the sport, has been working with several esteemed coaches throughout his career. Ben Davison, the 37-year-old lead trainer, is set to run Joshua's corner in the upcoming bout.

Davison previously coached Tyson Fury, helping him recover from drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and obesity. The coach has a reputation for focusing on drilling and video analysis, which helps fighters make instinctive decisions during fights. Despite recent setbacks, Joshua's recent wins against Billy Joe Saunders and Josh Taylor, as well as his work with other high-caliber boxers, suggest that Davison's coaching methods are effective.
