Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua engage in cordial first press conference

  • Anthony Joshua has revealed he is receiving advice from Peter Fury, the uncle and former trainer of rival Tyson Fury , ahead of their British super-fight scheduled for 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
  • Joshua is also reuniting with trainer Ben Davison, who previously coached Fury, stating that combining the expertise of both Davison and Peter Fury will create an ideal strategic partnership for his camp.
  • Clarifying the nature of their conversations, Joshua explained that Peter Fury's guidance focuses on improving his own training methods and general fight approach rather than offering insider secrets about his nephew.
  • Tyson Fury admitted feeling deflated by Davison joining Joshua's corner but claimed it ultimately gives him confidence, highlighting Joshua's previous knockout loss to Daniel Dubois under Davison's tutelage.
  • Fury has promised an aggressive approach for the bout, stating he will forgo a patient boxing strategy from the first bell in an effort to secure a swift knockout.
