I’m [Applause] fine Andrew M ifo TV wow Ben Davidson you were under the microscope a little bit there so was Anthony Joshua but assess that performance for me right now um executional professional excuse me well prepared that’s how I’d put it you 6 weeks to well the announcement of this
Fight was 6 weeks we don’t know how long A’s been in your camp for been in your gym but not a lot of time and you you’ve seen AJ you’ve seen his mindset a lot was made of his mindset but leading up to this fight what was what was what was
Going through his mind you have to ask him I can’t tell you all I know he very professional to work with uh it was very enjoyable and um yeah I’m pleased that that that the work he he got the fruits from his labor obviously he gave you a
Lot of props in there he says you’re a good additional to his team ises that mean he’s going back to Derek James or are you going to be his full-time trainer do you know anything about that look every fight is fought by fight with any fighter I think so um we’ll have to
See it’s enjoyable to work with but we’ll take it step by step obviously Anthony Joshua man like I said here he’s de to Wild the lost lost against Parker Joshua’s a great win against a w and a south paw lot made but he can’t fight south paw but he’s only fought two in
Charles Martin and usk but what a performance that was gold medal against the southp beat Zang in the Olympics as well so obviously the Wilder fight that was a lot made of that fight but it seemed like everyone was talking about Joshua this whole fight whether it be Gerald
Miller Oren D to Wilder but Joshua was just concentrating like he said in the ring all about himself now again I don’t know if you’re going to be his next fight you said fight by fight but who would you like to see Joshua fight next
Just off of motion I said to him from the very very start uh me and Wy we’d love for love to put the usk fight right for him um just purely off of motion um and I said to him when he first come I’m very confident we can help him do that
To put that fight right have you seen something in the middle two usyk fights that you can exploit is that what you’re saying yeah we’re very confident we can put that right for him well help him put that right obviously as a trainer might not just be about this Anthony Joshua
Fight what’s next but as a trainer you want to see your CH your your Fighters become world champions but there’s a big fight out there it’s might be dead in the what who knows in Wilder but there’s massive fights there outside of that I F hergovich whoever it may be but what
Would you like to see next for Joshua really I don’t know I don’t get involved in that that’s Eddie and Freddy and and all the rest of it to to work with so I don’t know what is next or who should be next um so yeah look like I say step by
Step who knows final one from you Ben obviously you’ve been quiet this this whole week everyone’s been pissing you for an interview but you’ve just kept yourself to yourself as well but I finally got you here so one final sum up this whole sort of card if you will
Because it’s been absolutely exceptional Saudi Arabia 23rd of December Day of Reckoning massive just sum it up for me I’d sum it up with historical I do genuinely believe that this is probably the greatest card that’s ever been put together in the history of boxing um the depth of the
Card pretty much almost every fight could have been a headlin in fight so yeah amazing to be a part of going enjoy the rest of Year and merry Christmas team when it comes mate thanks Ben thank you m thanks M I’m [Applause] fine okay

Ben is definitely great for aj. I'd say with aj's boxing ability great speed punch combinations Could stop any fighter. If he gets his game plan right he's unbeatable
Benโs the real deal.
If he goes back to Derek James heโs CRAZY.
nonsense , Wallin is a good fighter but serverely flat footed and stands squarely infront of the opposition , perfect for AJ , you won`t get anything remotely like that with Usyk
Good work. But Usyk beats him 10/10 times.
you're right about that, those Usyk fightrs need to be put right, there was nothing Joshua about how he took those two fights
What a good trainer Ben is, a big mistake by Fury
Doesnโt give much away Ben I like it.
A win against wallin who probably got paid to stay in his corner and joshua is back ๐๐
Fair play to Ben on this. Itโs hard to know what exactly his effect has been vs Joshua with Derrick James. Iโd probably guess that Ben has been able to explain/talk to AJ in a way that he needs and maybe everything he has worked on has suddenly clicked.
I wouldnโt be shocked if there was a hybrid approach of Ben and Derrick in future fights. I think Ben has clearly got what AJ needs in almost a translator so maybe that would help bridge that possible gap of what Derrick wants him to do.
Think DDD showed how to beat Usyk
Thank you Ben
I know Joshua lost twice to Usyk but it's not like he got batterd or stopped , I believe this version of Joshua beats Usyk
Props to Ben Davidson and his and props to Derrick James but at the end of the day aj had 2 training camps for usyk whoโs a SOUTHPAW so how about we give aj the flowers for this W cos I know damn well if he lost the vultures would be flocking this comment section ๐. WELL DONE ANTHONY JOSHUA ๐
If Usyk beats Fury. OK. But if Fury wins. I think AJ has. Chance to go through Fury
I see the logic of an Usyk fight, but largely because Usyk's past prime/not getting any younger while AJ – assuming he's put his mental demons behind him – is entering his prime. I'd actually like Usyk to ride off into the sunset an ATG after beating Fury, because at this point I think only age beats him.
Although this was a decent performance, let's not get too excited about the Wallin win.
Joshua has definitely showed some improvements, but not sure where to place this Wallin guy.
I reckon Chisora would have given Wallin a run for his money.
I think AJ can just wait until Usyk in his 40โs like he did with Klitchko.
Bens an unbelievable trainer. If only Aj had him 3/4 years ago
You mean best of 5?
Everyone is getting way to carried away here, he beat someone heโs boxed twice in the amateurs and someone heโs spared regularly
If none of you believe that makes any difference your mad
ben calls it. what a talent…
that animated intro is so fucking shite lmao
Don't see it happening. Usyk will retire first or lose to Fury.
I agree i think credit should go to the trainer because Joshua is good enough he only needs someone to push him
Best trainer in the world
You need to earn it first
Usyk is going to retire after unifying. He has schooled AJ twice anyway. But seriously after unification he can ride off into the sunset having achieved everything god gave him the chance to so who could blame him wanting to go enjoy his family for a few years after unifying…
I hope he sticks with Ben.
AJ has every chance of beating uysk under Ben he's a completely different fighter ain't gun shy of letting his hands go noticed in uysk fight aswell the 2 fights they had AJ right foot was always inside uysk left foot and was getting picked off by the jab through this in AJs last fught with wallin who also is a southpaw AJ learned to keep his right foot on the outside of wallin left foot and did some serious problems to wallin congrats on a great performance very impressive ๐
If AJ was to beat Usky under Ben.
Ben would be number one trainer over night
