According to former world champion Andy Lee, there has been a change in heavyweight contender Tyson Fury linked up with new head trainer "SugarHill" Steward.

Fury shocked most of the boxing world, when he decided to part ways with the man who trained him for his last five fights, Ben Davison.

Fury is preparing for a February rematch with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. They fought to a controversial twelve round split draw in December of 2018.

Fury has fought twice since the draw with Wilder.

He blew away overmatched Tom Schwarz in a hurry in June, and then had some struggles as he won a twelve round decision win over Otto Wallin in September - in a fight where he suffered a serious cut from a legal punch and the contest could have been stopped.

Steward is the nephew of the Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel, and Lee will also form part of the team.

"I think it's an excellent match. Hill emphasises a lot on balance and being strong with the jab," Lee said during an appearance on the 5 Live Boxing Podcast.

"I think Tyson, for the Wilder fight, will have to do what he does - feint, move, be tricky, unpredictable - but also have a little more authority in his punches. He hurt Wilder several times first time around. With Hill in the corner, if he has him hurt again, I think you will see Tyson going for the finish."

Lee is not sure as to why Fury made a decision to part ways with Davison.

 "I haven't seen anything from either on why they split up," Lee said. "I don't know; it seems a bit knee-jerk. My role is basically to be another set of eyes, to give advice where I can, if I see something I think can be improved or worked on.

"You can't serve too many masters in boxing. There can't be dissenting voices. It could always be difficult having two main coaches in a camp. So I guess that was Ben's decision. It's a shame it's gone this way as Tyson and Ben have been one of the great stories of the past few years with Tyson coming back from the abyss."
