Roy Jones Jr has given a scathing assessment on Ben Davison.
Anthony Joshua suffered a shock defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
The former unified heavyweight champion was brutally knocked out in front of 98,128 fans in a one-sided beatdown as he failed to become a three-time heavyweight champion.
Boxing legend, Roy Jones Jr. believes his trainer’s lack of fight experience was detrimental to ‘AJ’s’ chances in the fight and that he needed someone who knows how to ride out the tough times during a fight.
Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “It takes real boxing knowledge and IQ and people who have been there, and if you don’t have somebody who has they can’t teach you that
“You have to have somebody who knows how to travel those seas when things get tough.
“Yeah I don’t think Ben Davison has had a lot of fights himself. He has had a lot of coaching.
“But he hasn’t been there himself and it’s hard if you haven’t been there yourself.
“Some guys get lucky but it is very difficult to coach without that. He hasn’t been through that war.
“I can’t teach you how to swim through the ocean if I haven’t been through the ocean before.
“I’m sorry. Nothing against Ben Davison, he has done a good job with fighters.
“But when you get to that deep water, it is hard to tell people if you haven’t been there.”
