ANTHONY JOSHUA is reportedly working with the former trainer of rival Tyson Fury.
AJ is eyeing a fight with Deontay Wilder, which could take place at the beginning of next year.
The pair are understood to have agreed terms on a fight with only the date and location to be decided.
In the meantime Joshua is preparing for his next opponent by learning from a new trainer – Ben Davison, according to Michael Benson.
He previously worked with Fury during the Gyspy King’s comeback to the sport in 2018.
Davison helped Fury prepare for his first bout with Wilder which ended in a draw, though many felt the Brit deserved the win.

Now Joshua is learning from the experienced coach and fans cannot wait to see how Fury’s dad John reacts to the news.
One fan wrote: “I wonder how long it will take for John Fury to call Ben a traitor, even though he’s slated him in the past for doing a poor job with Tyson?”
Another added: “John Fury video going nuts and tearing Ben down incoming in 5..4..3..2..1.”
A third said: “Great coach, could be good if he’s ever to face Fury, although Fury turned into a different animal after Ben.”

And another commented: “Joshua needs to get to a stage where he’s letting his hands go more, that’s the AJ I personally want to see. If Ben gets that out of him then great stuff 👍”
Joshua, 33, has won two out of two since losing to Oleksandr Usyk but did not convince in either bout.
He teamed up with trainer Derrick James at the beginning of the year company with Robert Garcia – who replaced his former long-time trainer Rob McCracken.
