Ben Davison Takes the Lead

Instead, Ben Davison, who gained fame working with Tyson Fury, took charge of Joshua's training for the first time, guiding him to a fifth-round domination over Wallin.

Davison's Confidence in Overcoming Usyk

Davison expressed his confidence in helping Joshua finally overcome the undefeated Usyk, stating his desire to "put that right" for him.

Joshua's Camp Switch

Joshua had previously won against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius under Derrick James' guidance. However, James was in camp with Ryan Garcia when Joshua was announced to fight Wallin on seven weeks' notice. As a result, Joshua decided to remain in the UK and switch to Davison's gym in Harlow.

Uncertain Future for Joshua

With Deontay Wilder losing to Joseph Parker, Joshua's next move is uncertain. Even Davison cannot confirm whether he will continue working with Joshua.
