Ben Davison is a novice trainer. He is good at having a GREAT at having a Plan-A but if things go wrong then there is no Plan-B in the pipeline. He will be a great future trainer though. He has all the right tools, youth, wisdom and now confidence in his skill set. He just has to put it all together now and be able to make a different recipe with the same ingredients.
Speaking to a friend of Isaac Lowe, John and Shane Fury had been very vocal about the team and the hangers on. Shane was not happy that the focus hadn’t been there in camp for Schwartz and Wallin. He felt certain things were slipping back in and the media free for all that Ben allowed had became distracting. Nobody knows or has Tyson’s back more than Shane and if he doesn’t like you, you‘re out. He had his dads ear and it was goodbye Ben.
You know what would've been funnier? If someone had altered Wilders legs on that last image. Don't get me wrong, he looks pretty funny as it is, but that's an opportunity missed
Interesting. Perhaps Ben and Tyson were too close to being friends rather than maintaining the distance which would allow a trainer to impose some order?
The first thing I thought of when I watched this was why the hell are you giving all of Tyson's tricks and tactics away? I'm sure Team Wilder have identified some themselves but if they wanted to do this they should've delayed putting it out until a day or two before the fight IMO just in case. Not happy about this.

I've always thought Fury carries decent power but it's only when he's able to sit down on his punches. This poses a conundrum as he'll become a stationary target and susceptible to getting countered much more cleanly than when he boxes from a distance using his footwork. If I remember correctly it was a British judge who scored that fight for Wilder so the "hometurf" conspiracy doesn't hold as much merit. It's not like Wilder was a major PPV draw in Vegas at that point; his biggest fights were in his hometown in Tuscaloosa and in Brooklyn, thousands of miles from Vegas. I get where Fury is coming from, he wants to remove any possibility of wrongdoing by not leaving it in the judges hands but I think it's a lot more dangerous for him to try and KO Wilder than it is to try and avoid him for 12 rounds. It's 2 precarious situations to be in, no doubt.
Yeah, it was both. Fury said he felt stale and wanted to bring someone in in addition to Davidson. Davidson said this wasn't acceptable to him and decided to skin out.
I think Fury is definitely making a mistake if he is genuinely going for a knockout. I also think there's less chance of him getting a bad decision in the rematch. I think the judges will be conscious of being criticised for robbing Fury of a deserved victory a second time and there may even be bias in Fury's favour this time. For example, Lewis was arguably flattered by the scoring in the second fight with Holyfield after the controversy of the first fight.
