LAS VEGAS – Inside the press center at the MGM Grand on Saturday, Ben Davison addressed a handful of reporters. The trainer for Tyson Fury was ringside for Deontay Wilder’s knockout win over Luis Ortiz, in a scouting role for Fury’s anticipated rematch with Wilder, penciled in for early next year. Not surprisingly, everyone wanted to know what he thought.
“Ortiz is a fantastic fighter,” Davison said, smiling. “But he’s not Tyson Fury.”
It’s been nearly a year since Fury and Wilder battled to a draw in a thrilling heavyweight showdown.
