Eddie Hearn updates the future of Anthony Joshua and his trainer
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has provided a key update on the future of former world champion Anthony Joshua, suggesting that he will likely continue working with trainer Ben Davison despite facing recent criticism. As Joshua looks to rebuild his career, he must make crucial decisions about strengthening his technical team ahead of his next fight.
Since late 2023, Joshua has partnered with Davison after short stints with Robert García and Derrick James. Their collaboration started off strong, with Joshua securing impressive victories over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in their first two outings together. These wins heightened expectations for a potential comeback from the British heavyweight.
However, Joshua's recent defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley has cast a shadow over his prospects. Despite being the favorite, Joshua suffered a knockdown in the first round and fell again in the subsequent rounds, leading to a loss. This performance raised doubts about his corner's effectiveness, with many experts criticizing the team for a lack of crucial guidance during key moments.
Despite the criticisms, Hearn remains optimistic about Davison's role. In an interview with @FightHubTV, the promoter expressed confidence in Joshua's physical condition and training, stating, “He’s happy with his training camp. In my opinion, there won’t be any changes.”
Joshua's future in boxing remains uncertain, with a return expected in 2025. While potential opponents like Daniel Dubois and Tyson Fury have been mentioned, no confirmations have been made. Hearn believes Davison will continue to be an essential figure in Joshua's camp as he charts his way back to the top.
