ANTHONY JOSHUA is counting down the days until his huge Christmas cracker with Otto Wallin – and he has shockingly decided to switch his trainer.<\/p>\n

Since being embarrassed twice by Oleksandr Usyk, AJ has gone on to secure a unanimous decision victory against Jermaine Franklin before knocking out Robert Helenius just four months later.<\/p>\n

Why is Ben Davidson training Anthony Joshua?<\/h2>\n

Legendary boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Joshua's choice of trainer has been switched due to travel.<\/p>\n

And the boxing promoter highlighted that this is a good decision as Davidson helped Tyson Fury to beat Wallin in 2019.<\/p>\n

Hearn said: "They're definitely working together moving forward, it's not a split.<\/p>\n
