Ben Davison has trained the likes of Leigh Wood, Billy Joe Saunders in addition to working with two-weight world champion Devin Haney. He is one of the brightest minds in world boxing and his profile continues to grow rapidly.
Anthony Joshua's recent demolition job of Francis Ngannou underlined his recent resurgence in emphatic style. His career trajectory is trending steeply upward since his move to the Ben Davison Performance Centre and he is guaranteed to headline some blockbusters before the end of 2024.

Superb interview. Need more of this

[@DanchOnPcGames]

Ben is a very good trainer and im glad AJ is being given a helping hand to rejuvenate his boxing career. He did a lot to bring Fury back from the abyss and that in itself was very impressive, its a shame Fury's team dropped him (not sure if it was Big John Fury's decision but remember an interview years ago ripping into Ben). Regardless of the result between Aj and Ngannou i hope Aj sticks with Ben and they eventually get the Fury and Usyk rematch under his wing.

[@leonardcharles59]

Fury's dad sure didn't say anything positive about Ben to keep him as Tyson's trainer. I think if he remained, although Tyson's won his fights anyway, i think he would be a better rounded fighter under Ben.

[@user-lb8wf7yq3e]

I got francis doing the job but the only reason I'm not 100% confident is because the mind behind it all ben is operating on different levels and it's hard to bet against any of his stable because he literally changes broken people restores there confidence sees things and they ends up coming away outstanding. This guy really deserves more credit for how many people he has helped credit as a human being

[@Sean-pm3vd]

I think that joshua wins pretty much every round mate tbh he only needs too match the level he showed against otto n he wins in a landslide 30+ punches a round is all that it takes too beat francis! But all respect too the power francis has n also his chin seems solid until he gets tired!

[@seemymobot4987]

Both these comments aged like milk 🤣

[@Sean-pm3vd]

@seemymobot4987 I wouldn't say mind did buddy?? I literally said joshua would win easy n every round just didn't see a quick devastating knockout like that n not many people did tbh mate what was your prediction then joshua round 2 n drops him 3 times lol??

Ben has always figured high on my list of trainers. Way ahead of most of the so-called great trainers. I am pleased for him that he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. To achieve so much at such a young age and with no real boxing experience is bordering on a genius level. So far only established boxers have called on his services, but I am 1000% sure he can and will take one from scratch to the world champion level.

[@JPDSinai]

Legend already

[@cusssystem8013]

Adam I just love this. Being a boxing coach myself I am just fascinated to see how AJ develops under Ben . I felt before that AJ had chosen the RIGHT coach as with Derrick James as Derrick teaches a particular style basic upon physics and I wanted to see how he was going to use this particular style with AJ and to see whether this was going to work. Now AJ is with Ben and as you quite rightly so mentioned that Ben is very analytical in his thinking and on the other hand you have AJ as what many have said a boxing sponge constantly absorbing information. I have been very critical of Ben in the past as I believe his teaching to be too complex and I do not believe teaching certain scenarios to boxers to what to expect if something happens or having a Plan A; B or C . After being involved with fighting systems all my life I teach a specific style of boxing in Peek a Boo boxing style. We rely on the system itself; we do not work on scenarios or have plans. Mike Tyson has famously said your plan goes out of the window when you get punched in the face . Mike also never studied other fighters before fighting them. He just relied on the Peek a Boo system. However there has not been another champion since Mike Tyson using the Peek a Boo system you might add. So true. However what I would say to this is that 99.9% of trainers do not know the concepts of the system and do not know how it works and definitely cannot teach it. I have been told by my mentor and coach that the style was training in secret it was not widely exposed because fighters that learned under the system had an advantage so Cus kept all of his training very private and closed off to the public.

Great interview I followed Ben from his time with Tyson. Then started to like him more and more for his work with Leigh Wood. I am an unashamed AJ fan boy, so I am loving the clarity he brings to AJ. But I doubt if it will ever happen. But I would love to see Ben train Maxi Hughes. I love Maxi and I think how cool it would be if Ben was able to help Maxi set himself up for life.

[@OneOnOneBoxing]

Thanks for the support 🙏 Very interested to see how Maxi gets on tonight…

AJ wins inside 6 , I said that

[@chrisnewell1065]

Ngannou causes the upset.

[@fourQQ]

@@chrisnewell1065 I really don't mind either way , I like both , but I got a feeling that AJ gonna go beast mode , I also could be totally wrong, that's heavyweight boxing for you

[@chrisnewell1065]

​@fourQQ I personally think if A.J goes into beast mode, it will be a big mistake vs. the actual beast.. A.J best chance of winning is by boxing cleverly and carefully.. but I can just see Ngannou catching him.

[@DeterminedFC]

mate im a huge fan of aj but im a mma fan first and im telling you ..and i got aj as fav to win but theres no way hes stopping francis in 6 rounds ..if the fight is done within 6 the only guy that wins tht is francis ..il be honest ill be surprised if he even knocks francis down once. aj by points or a stoppage late due to francis being exhausted or francis cleans him out

[@benfrost124]

I’d love for AJ to go beast mode, but I can see him getting clipped unfortunately.

Has Ben Davison ever fought, even as an amateur? This isn’t a dig by the way, just genuinely curious.

[@user-yh8hx6wr9f]

Boxing fans are the most fickle in any sport. I remember all the hate this lad got when he was with Fury, he was routinely called a 'glorified pad holder' or 'P.E. teacher Ben' in the comments section of any interview he gave. Different story these days, read for yourselves.

[@jglp892]

The whole world is fickle everyone is on your dick until you stop doing well then they hate you

[@keepitup5766]

So true. Happens in every instance regarding everything. If I had the time I’d screenshot comments before and after any fight/change just to see the 180 everyone does. From people “ducking” fights to hated fighters becoming loved after winning a title. Folk are just spineless

[@ashr704]

Yeah it was like people wanted him to fail. Maybe because he was Furys coach it was just haters. He's learning and improving as he said, and he is young so time on his side

[@mlt7954]

That's sport though, he was the new kid on the block , now he has proved himself more he is respected

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

Dont forget after Joyce beat Parker he was the guy to beat AJ

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

If Ben continues to train AJ, I think he not only heats Ngannou but also wins against Usyk. He has gpt AJ believing in himself again and letting his fists go. Ben hugely underestimated and deserves everything coming his wsy😊

[@OneOnOneBoxing]

Ben is extremely keen to put that right for him. Not sure after the 2nd anyone would predict an intriguing 3rd, but we may just see it.

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

Totally agree had not thought AJ would fight Usyk again after last one but the Davison AJ combo gives some belief he might win @@OneOnOneBoxing

[@marvtinn834]

this interview seems be going so under the radar. certain media still questioning Bens ability to have any meaningful impact on Joshua’s style or right to be there even. the Wallin performance showed us there’s changes that could be made with him& i’m looking forward, again, to his fights. team Tony J checking in🥊

[@portillamail]

Uncomfortable to see how obsequiously the interviewer behaves. A bit of self respect is always a good thing.

[@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282]

The difference in this fight will actually be Ben Davison. He is now becoming master at game-planning...telling his fighters to throw the right shot at the right time....very tactical coach who has a great...like-minded team behind him. Lee Wiley....Davison's No 2 is a very underrated...but extremely talented boxing trainer also. IMHO he's a better trainer than Dewy Cooper...who although is a top level Boxing/Kick-Boxing/MMA coach...who has worked in the corner of may boxing Champions I truly believe this will be the best version of Joshua we've seen to date. An active Joshua IMHO is the best HW in the world. Ngannou was my favorite MMA fighter. He has the size...the strength...the toughness/durability.....the chin and most definitely the power to beat AJ...THAT'S A FACT. But...the real facts is that he had a very close fight with a severely under-prepared Tyson Fury.....but no doubt Ngannou is a capable boxer contrary to what many think. But again he lacks the experience really at the top level. Let's remember who Anthony Joshua is....former Olympic Gold Medalist.....won Silver at the World Amateur Championship......former 2x Unified World HW Champ. Joshua has a chip on his shoulder that's when he's at his most dangerous. I just think that Joshua is too experienced and too seasoned for Ngannou. Joshua will be too fast and too precise for Ngannou...who I believe is really gonna have a big problem with Joshua's fast...precise...varied jab.....that jab is gonna win the fight for Joshua. Joshua's movement/footwork...defensive will be too much. More importantly....Joshua is way more explosive than T. Fury and that's gonna cause Ngannou problems too. Joshua I believe will put on a clinic against Ngannou and show the world who he really is. He's the finished article now...complete.

[@joeellis7928]

Can’t stand Catterall but can’t miss & Davidson interview.

[@anUntouchable]

I have to agree with him about Floyd. Mayweather is certainly the best defensive fighter of all time and his counter punching and speed was second to non. Ring IQ he was even a level above master jedi. Even though there was a size difference look what Mayweather done to Marquez - one of the best mexican boxers of all time technically. Mayweather did not lose a single round of that fight and Marquez was going to toe to toe with a prime Pacman in all their fights

[@ynwa9785]

Helped Tyson aswell deserve respect have be doing something right and only get better

[@jonathansmith5850]

Rated Ben ever since he brought Tyson from the brink to schooling Wilder in just 3 fights and what was really quite a short period of time to lose so much weight and after so long out. The moment AJ brought him in I thought ‘this is an interesting choice’. AJ certainly looked different against Wallin, curious against Unganu. Don’t know what to make of Fury fight performance but he certainly isn’t there to make up the numbers!!!! Also, Adam has become one of my favourite boxing analysts along with Nick on fight disciples. Another great interview! Thanks!
