    How many chiefs has Fury got in the kitchen now.

    I honestly don't mind this.

    Maybe Fury has started to see that Davison is a good fitness coach, but not a great tactical one? Roach has the experience.

    Freddie Roach is not only experienced and respected, he's an American and based in L.A.
    That's why having him in the corner is such a smart move.
    If any of those Yanks were thinking they can pull any funny business with the visitors from over here, they might be rethinking that now.

    I can't see this making 1 iota of difference.
    Dundee used to be known for his for cornerwork, as well as Arcel.
    Fighters would bring them in specifically to do the corners.
    Can't see what Roach brings tho

    Tyson Fury looks in absolutely brilliant shape for this fight. I see no harm in having Roach in. All good experience for Davison.

    I think it’s a very smart move.
    Davidson and Fury click, and Davidson can definitely prepare him physically, Fury is no fool, if Davidson wasn’t excellent in the gym he wouldn’t be there.
    But can he make in fight adjustments in a mega fight? Nobody knows, not Fury, not even Davidson.

    They might not be needed, but if they are and Davidson isn’t up to it, we know Fresie Roaxh is as good as it gets as a trainer, so I think it’s a brilliant idea.
    Another base covered by Team Fury IMO.

    Very good point someone else made about Team Wilder may try and unsettle Team Fury, which with Peter and John woulda been met with a swift and aggressive response, you don’t mess with them.
    But as they’re not there, Roach has seen everything in boxing, tens of PAC Man fights of huge magnitude, even Mike Tyson so bringing him in as experience at anything boxing can throw at them, is very wise.
    Good move.

    Almost enough to cook breakfast for Wilder's management team, but not quite there yet.

    Good point.

    Good call by Tyson. It can't hurt in terms of garnering more interest in the fight either... As coaches go I'd say Freddie Roach is amongst the most known to your average casual. Does no harm and may even do quite a lot of good to have him involved.
