British boxer Tyson Fury has insisted there is no bad blood between him and Ben Davison after rival Anthony Joshua unexpectedly brought back Fury’s former trainer ahead of their highly anticipated blockbuster clash in Cardiff on December 11.
Joshua shocked the boxing world by confirming he will reunite with Davison to prepare for the decade-long feud with ‘The Gypsy King’. The pair previously joined forces for Joshua’s victory over Otto Wallin and his knockout of Francis Ngannou before parting ways following a defeat to Daniel Dubois.

After brief stints with Oleksandr Usyk’s setup for fights against Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga, the 37-year-old Joshua opted to bring Davison back into his camp.
Recall that Davison played a pivotal role in Fury’s career, guiding the Morecambe heavyweight through five bouts, including the famous 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder, after helping him overcome personal struggles to return to the ring. Although Fury lightheartedly joked that his former coach was a “traitor,” he clarified during an interview with Michelle Joy Phelps that he bears no real resentment.
“It does not mean anything to me,” Fury explained. “I wish Ben all the best. Ben’s got a wife and kids to feed, so Ben needs to do what’s right for him, not what’s right for me—because God knows I will be doing what is right for me. I won’t be thinking about Ben Davison anyway.”
Fury added that their relationship remains solid despite the tactical rivalry: “Ben is a good trainer, and I wish him all the best. I do not have any hard feelings towards Ben for training AJ; it’s a job at the end of the day. Me and Ben had a good time together. We’re still friendly… I think it’s a good idea for AJ to train with Ben anyway. Ben is a good guy—fun guy to be around, good pad man and all that stuff.”
