Tyson Fury's ex-coach explains how Derek Chisora can beat heavyweight champion

Tyson Fury's former trainer Ben Davison has explained how Derek Chisora can cause a massive upset in the odds and dethrone Tyson Fury on Saturday night.

The boxing coach brought Fury down from around 400lb to fighting shape in 2018, and cornered him all the way until his rematch with Deontay Wilder in 2020. He has been credited as a key player in the heavyweight champion's return, and has remained close with his former student despite being replaced by SugarHill Steward prior to Fury's second world title win.

Davison is respected as one of British boxing's best trainers, and believes there is a strategy that Chisora could utilise to overcome the huge challenge he faces against Fury at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend. The pair have fought twice before in 2011 and 2014, with Fury winning both, including by decisive stoppage in their rematch.
