Wow, this won't go down well. A lot of his 'fans' were calling him a 'boxercise trainer' when he was with Fury...
How many trainers..

[MulaKO]

He can use whoever the fugh he wants , the end result won’t change
Lost faith after the debacle with Spence ?

One thing about about Davison he studies fights . He knows Wallin and trained Fury for him , this could be a good thing while over there they were already training together . If he finds it a better fit he should maybe stick with him but again you get the better work ethic in the states everyone that has been in both countries knows this .

De La Hoya switched trainers a lot too. Says something about Joshua.

Maybe, he'll train with Sugarhill against Wilder, and Scott or Usyk's trainer against Fury.

Sounds like he's just doing a couple of weeks with Davison before going into camp with James.

So a bit of boxercise isn't a big deal.

For what it's worth, I think Davison improved from the experience he got with Fury. But still more a fitness and mentality guy than a technical/strategy coach.

Mind you, that might be what Joshua actually needs. A bit of a cheerleader.

Big stiff gun shy robot is going have his hands full with Wallin

Your going to see the difference between Joshua and Fury with this very fight what are the odds Wallin busts Joshua’s face up and Joshua has problems getting him off him against the ropes as well as getting rocked at any point ?

Using that novice Boxercise Ben before getting in with a guy who's style is his Achilles heel seems ****** to me.

Can't help but feel this might be wrong for Joshua. Listen to Davison in the corner and he gives a lot of detailed advice to his fighters. And I do think a lot of it is technical and well thought out. We've seen Joshua many times in the corner questioning and overthinking, and he may struggle to implement what Davison is trying to impart mid fight.

I could be wrong though, if he gels with and trusts Davison then maybe he can let his overthinking be done for him and just focus on following advice and instructions.
