Hearn explained why Joshua is preparing for the fight with Wallin under the guidance of ex-trainer Fury

Eddie Hearn, promoter of the former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, reported that his fighter decided to prepare for a fight against Otto Wallina under the guidance of a former coach Tyson Fury Ben Davison, and not his mentor Derrick James, because he considered this option more convenient.

“Joshua has been working with Derrick James for the last year and that’s his plan. He wasn't going to leave James for Ben. Joshua thought: “I train in the UK, I can’t travel all the time. It’s convenient for me to train where I am, so I’ll stay here.” Of course, Derrick also has Ryan Garcia and so on.

At this point in your career, you won't start teaching AJ a lot of new things and changing his style. In fact, you need to light it. And he burns, and when Joshua burns, he is dangerous. Anthony will be dangerous in a fight with Wallin,” Hearn said in an interview with the YouTube channel Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that Joshua and Wallin will fight on December 23 in Riyadh.
