Anthony Joshua's coach breaks silence over Daniel Dubois fight corner drama
Joshua suffered a brutal knockout in the fifth round last September - and his team have come under fire for their advice during the heavyweight dust-up Anthony Joshua 's trainer Ben Davison has finally explained his controversial "roll the dice" advice during the Daniel Dubois fight. The former two-time heavyweight champion was knocked out by Dubois last September in front of a sold out Wembley Stadium. Joshua was knocked down multiple times before being stopped in the fifth round. Heading into the fifth, Davison told 'AJ' to "roll the dice" and unleash the right uppercut. Joshua came out guns blazing in the fifth round and rocked Dubois before eventually being caught with a left hand that sent him crashing to the canvas. Reacting to the stoppage, Shane McGuigan was very critical, stating: "I think that is dangerous advice there to be honest, getting him to bring it up (uppercut) off the double jab," he said of Davison's instructions. "Daniel throws that right hand straight off that double jab, he is going to walk straight on to a short right hand. If you ask me, I would say keep your hands up tight and get through these next few rounds." Responding to McGuigan's claims, Davison told talkSPORT: "He is saying that Daniel puts a right hand behind the double jab. He would be 100 per cent correct. "But we have asked AJ to throw a double jab and bring it up the middle (uppercut). Daniel was defending AJ's right hand by ducking underneath it. Therefore, if he is ducking underneath your right hand, then the correct adjustment is to dip him onto the right uppercut." When asked what he meant by his "roll the dice" order, Davison replied: "The roll the dice is something he has worked on throughout camp, which is throw the double jab and bring it up through the middle. Against Hrgovic, he was regularly getting underneath Hrgovic's right hand. "Hrgovic then started to throw an uppercut, but he didn't bring his feet in close enough to deliver the shot. Roll the dice didn't actually mean go out there and take [one to give one]. What we meant was that it's something you have worked on and you haven't thrown it throughout the fight." It looked likely that Joshua and Dubois would go head-to-head in an immediate rematch, but 'AJ' suffered some minor injuries in the initial encounter that forced him to take some time away from the ring. 'AJ' is targeting a return to the ring before the end of the year after having elbow surgery. His promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that his star client could return anytime between October and December. 'AJ' is still targeting an all-British showdown with Tyson Fury amid talks of the 'Gypsy King' potentially making a stunning return to action. Hearn himself is still holding out hope that Fury will make a retirement U-turn and fight his star client. The Boxing promoter told DAZN: "It's probably three fights away. For me, if I'm advising AJ, we're back this year, we have two Tyson Fury fights, what else is there to do? Maybe fight a Daniel Dubois, but for me once AJ fights Tyson Fury, he's kind of done it all. "I'd love him to have another crack at Daniel Dubois and I'd love him to have another crack at Usyk but you just keep going on and on and on. Now, if we get to next year and he's still firing on all cylinders then 2026 won't be his last year. But for me, something feels right about coming back this year, beating Tyson Fury twice and then sailing off into the sunset."

Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as boxing legend chats with stunned locals
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TYSON FURY has fought in the world's biggest cities and the grandest stages. So a small Scottish town might not be where you'd expect to find him! Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Tyson Fury retired at the beginning of the year Credit: Getty 5 Fury has been spotted taking a stroll through a small Scottish town Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 5 He's also stayed at a caravan park in the north of Scotland Credit: FACEBOOK Fury, 36, is one of the greatest fighters of all time and held several world heavyweight championships during his storied career. The Gypsy King beat superstars such as Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder as he negotiated 35 professional fights without a single defeat. That maiden loss came at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk via split decision in May last year. The duo did battle again in a hotly anticipated rematch in December with Usyk once again the winner, this time via unanimous decision. In January this year, Fury announced his retirement from professional boxing - although not for the first time. While he might not be preparing to get back in the ring any time soon, Fury remains a very busy man. Fury stars in his own Netflix series, At Home with the Furys, which was a huge hit during its initial run in 2023. It features the boxing superstar and his family, including wife Paris and brother Tommy. It's coming back for a second series and it appears that's what has brought Fury to Scotland. He made it to the VERY north of the country, staying in a caravan park in John O'Groats. Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary forced to apologise as Tyson Fury swears live on ITV during Soccer Aid coverage Sharing a couple of snaps of the boxing legend, John O'Groats Caravan and Camping Site said: " We were delighted to host the one and only 'Gypsy King' Mr Tyson Fury and his family at the John O Groats Caravan and Camping Site!! "It was a pleasure to have them all stay with us!" He's also been spotted in Grantown-on-Spey, putting an extremely striking appearance! In a video posted on Instagram, Fury could be seen walking through the small town of just 2,500 people TOPLESS - and wearing a kilt. He also had a tartan tie around his neck, despite the fact he wasn't wearing a shirt. Stunned locals could be seen approaching the Gypsy King, rather unsurprisingly shocked to see the superstar taking a stroll through the town. Excited punters could be seen running up to Fury with their phones desperate for a selfie, with the former champ only too happy to oblige as he stopped to pose for a snap. Fury tagged Netflix in the post and was with a camera crew, so it certainly appears he's been in the north of Scotland filming content for the upcoming second series of his show. He made an appearance at Soccer Aid over the weekend too. 5 Fury greeted locals in Grantown-on-Spey Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 5 The boxing great made an appearance at Soccer Aid on Sunday night Credit: PA Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
