The 36-year-old officially parted ways with Davison following his crushing Wembley Stadium defeat to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.

Joshua has since been training in Spain alongside Oleksandr Usyk and his team for the victories over Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga over the past nine months.

He is now hoping to finally secure a fight against Fury with a date in November earmarked for them to clash. However, there has been a tortuous hold-up due to a discrepancy in their fight contracts.

Joshua’s deal stipulates that the fight must take place in the UK while Fury’s has no such clause. As such, a proposed showdown in Madison Square Garden, New York, earmarked for November 20, could not be finalized.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has since sent an addendum to that initial contract but Fury has publicly declared that he is now seeking a different opponent as he believes the fight is off.

Meanwhile, Joshua is still keeping himself in fighting shape and has linked back up with Davison to do so.

The pair have remained on good terms since officially going their separate ways and kept in touch over the past two years. A source told The Ring that Joshua wanted to keep ticking over in familiar surroundings so asked Davison for his help.

A picture posted by Frazer Clarke on Monday, of him alongside Joshua and another Davison heavyweight, Jeamie TKV, confirmed the short term switch, although it is understood that there are currently no plans to move back full time once his next fight is announced.
