Peter Fury has offered to help Anthony Joshua after his fight with Tyson Fury, but another experienced voice may only address part of Joshua’s problem. His performance against Kristian Prenga raised concerns about how he handles punches, something technical advice alone cannot resolve.
Joshua is back with Ben Davison, whose previous spell produced stoppage wins over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou before the fifth-round defeat against Daniel Dubois. Peter’s post describes a conversation about Joshua’s skills two months ago, with further help offered after the upcoming fight.
Me & AJ spoke 2 months ago about advice on his skill set, really nice guy. “After” his fight ‘any thing he needs form me be a pleasure. He has a great team around him “inc Team Usyk” my focus now is Rico, we start camp very soon 🔥🔥🙏♥️

The timing is worth emphasizing. Peter hasn’t announced a role preparing Joshua to face his nephew. His offer is for afterward, and his reference to Team Usyk doesn’t explain anyone’s current responsibilities.
Peter’s experience could still benefit Joshua. He trained Tyson for his victory over Wladimir Klitschko and understands heavyweight preparation. However, knowing what Joshua should do and getting him through the moments when he is caught are separate challenges.
Against Kristian Prenga, Joshua’s reactions to punches were more concerning than the identity of the trainer in his corner. Better positioning can reduce those exchanges, but no trainer can ensure Joshua avoids every clean shot against Tyson.
Joshua’s previous run with Davison ended badly when the opposition improved. He stopped Wallin and Ngannou, but Dubois repeatedly knocked him down before finishing him in the fifth. Neither of those earlier wins had tested Joshua’s ability to recover when hurt.
Peter’s advice may sharpen Joshua’s skills. The harder question is whether Joshua can remain composed and effective when Tyson lands.
