Joshua, 34, instead stationed himself in the UK for his next fight against Wallin, 32, which led to his decision to go with Davison.

The young coach has worked with the likes of Billy Joe Saunders, Josh Taylor and Devin Haney.

But he shot to recognition as the man who brought Fury back to boxing following a battle with depression and substance abuse.

The pair had five fights together with their only blemish a controversial 2018 draw against Deontay Wilder.

Coincidentally, the final bout they had together was against Wallin, where Fury suffered a horror cut – needing 47 stitches – but won on points.

Fury parted ways with Davison to work with Sugarhill Steward, twice beating Wilder, 38, and winning their five fights together in total.
