Anthony Joshua’s training-camp manager has revealed that the heavyweight is training with Ben Davison, former coach of Tyson Fury, ahead of a potential fight with Deontay Wilder. After a long spell under Rob McCracken, Joshua teamed with Robert Garcia for last summer’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, which went the same way as the pair’s first fight, with “AJ” losing on points. Joshua, 33, then began training with Derrick James earlier this year, and he has earned back-to-back wins under the American – beating Jermaine Franklin via decision in April and stopping Robert Helenius in August. While Joshua is expected to conduct his next camp under James’s guidance in Texas, he has recently been training with Davison, as was revealed by David Ghansa this week. Ghansa, better known by his nickname “KD”, told Boxing King Media on Sunday (1 October): “[Joshua] is currently ticking over, he’s at the Ben Davison performance institute at the moment. He’s ticking over with Ben. “He’s still active. When he’s got a [fight] date, you’ll see him back out in Dallas, back with Derrick James, and continuing the work.” Briton Davison coached Fury in the heavyweight’s first five fights after the “Gypsy King” returned to boxing in 2015. Davison oversaw wins over Sefer Seferi, Francesco Pianeta, Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin, as well as Fury’s controversial draw with Wilder in 2018. Fury then began training under Sugarhill Steward for his 2020 rematch with Wilder, in which the Briton stopped the American to win the WBC heavyweight title, which he has held since. Under Steward, Fury stopped Wilder again in 2021. Since Joshua knocked out Helenius in August, the focus has been on a long-awaited bout between the Briton and Wilder, with AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn suggesting that it could take place in December or early 2024. Ghansa said: “In regards to that, [Joshua’s] message to us was, ‘I wanna fight three times within the year.’ His first fight of the year was in April; we’ve got until April to get the public three fights within 12 months. “I won’t give December – Eddie was giving December – but I will definitely say: Anthony Joshua wants to be very active.” It is understood that Joshua could in fact fight in December against an alternative opponent, if the Wilder fight cannot be made in time.

Manchester United’s problems on the pitch continued over the weekend after losing to Crystal Palace, and a viral video also captured one of the problems away from the pitch too. A clip has been circulating online which shows the roof at Old Trafford leaking onto the supporters below during the game. The condition of the stadium has been a point of contention among fans for years. The ground last underwent an upgrade in 2006 and the lack of investment in the facilities has seen owners the Glazers come in for criticism. A video posted by social media user @KyleHall1996 shows rainwater leaking onto fans in their seats as they endured a pretty miserable 1-0 loss – their second successive home defeat. It's been viewed more than 2.5 million times and it's attracted the ire of United fans online. The caption for the video read: “It was a wet one at Old Trafford today. The Glazers need to invest in fixing the roof of the stadium.” One fan replied to the clip by writing: “That's unacceptable man.” Another wrote: “Absolutely shameful that is, years of neglect. Would never see that at Madrid or Bayern.” “Sums up our great club right now an absolute disgrace,” a user added. It comes as United manager Erik ten Hag said he understood the supporters who booed the team off after their 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, which marked their fifth defeat already this season. Ten Hag said: “I understand. When we played at home we play Crystal Palace, we have to win. With all respect, I know every game in is very difficult, you have to play your best and I understand fans expecting a win and we didn’t win. We lost.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings
