Joshua told to dump trainer after Dubois KO

Joshua, once the darling of British boxing, suffered a crushing loss to Dubois in front of 98,000 fans at Wembley., where he was floored multiple times by the 27-year-old before securing a fifth-round knockout, leaving Joshua’s career hanging in the balance.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Jones Jr. didn’t mince words about Davison’s role in the defeat, saying, “It takes real boxing knowledge and IQ and people who have been there.

“You have to have somebody who knows how to travel those seas when things get tough.”

The boxing legend argued that Davison’s limited fighting experience puts him at a disadvantage when coaching at the highest level.

“Yeah, I don’t think Ben Davison has had a lot of fights himself. He has had a lot of coaching. But he hasn’t been there himself, and it’s hard if you haven’t been there yourself,” Jones Jr. added.
