Ben Davison downplays Tyson Fury’s 'traitor' comment ahead of fight

Ahead of the anticipated super-fight on December 11, Anthony Joshua's coach Ben Davison addressed Tyson Fury's recent comment labeling him a 'traitor'. Davison, who previously coached Fury before moving to Joshua, described Fury's remark as 'tongue-in-cheek'. He emphasized that his relationship with both fighters is professional and rooted in mutual respect. Davison has reunited with Joshua following recent fights, including a knockout victory over Kristian Prenga in July. As the buildup to the Fury vs. Joshua bout intensifies, Davison stated there is no conflict of interest in his training.
