He tweeted some weeks ago, alongside a picture of a healthy and smiling Fury: "We succeeded in the ring but we succeeded in life, too" - this will remain Davison's legacy as his trainer.īut should Fury become a two-time world heavyweight champion in his next fight against Wilder, much of the credit must go to Davison. Davison has been dignified, there has been no mud-slinging, he insisted they "remain friends". Logically the veteran American and the contacts book that comes with him might open doors that Fury's previous, inexperienced trainer could not. Perhaps the years of education at Kronk will equip Sugarhill to dealing the most difficult moments a fighter can go through - for example, Fury's knock-downs against Wilder, or the cut against Otto Wallin. The judge, however, was unimpressed, perhaps figuring that Tysons future career is fine in the hands of Kronk gym legend Emanuel Steward, who has been. Sugarhill is Emanuel Steward's nephew and was involved during the days when Fury visited.

It is strange, then, that the trainer who prepared Fury to out-box Wilder for long periods has now been dispensed with.ĭavison told Sky Sports he was "excited" and said "all systems are go" for the rematch with Wilder but that fight will now take place with a new voice in Fury's ear. Fury, of course, climbed off the canvas twice and believed he won 10 out of 12 rounds but was left frustrated by the draw.
Then they plunged recklessly and dangerously into a fight with Wilder, after just two comeback victories that offered no evidence that they were ready. Slowly but surely, Davison coaxed arguably the world's best heavyweight back out from his unrecognisable shell. He was also called the Godfather of Detroit Boxing.
