Will the fact Fury changed trainers a few months before the fight have a significant impact?
Ben Davison guided Fury during his comeback in and out of the ring, making the trainer an integral part of Fury’s recent success. And now he’s gone, replaced by Emanuel Steward disciple and nephew SugarHill Steward. Some believe a change made sense after Fury’s flat performance against Otto Wallin in September. Others, myself included, wonder whether it’s possible to make an effective transition in only a few months. Sometimes it takes a few fights. At least Fury worked with Steward a decade ago. They are familiar with one another.
