Anthony Joshua has reunited with Ben Davison ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury, but the Brit has been sent a major warning by legend Carl Froch

Carl Froch has questioned Anthony Joshua's decision to reunite with Ben Davison, as the boxing icon fears the two-time heavyweight world champion may feel like there's a 'rat' in camp.

Joshua is currently gearing up for his all-British showdown with Tyson Fury - which is scheduled to take place on December 11 in Cardiff. Ahead of the mouthwatering contest, the 37-year-old revealed that he would be teaming up with Fury's old trainer Davison once again.

'AJ' left Davison after he was brutally knocked out by Daniel Dubois two years ago. He then opted to join forces with Oleksandr Usyk's team for his two recent wins - back-to-back knockout victories over Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga. But just months after knocking out Prenga, the heavyweight icon has changed trainers yet again.

And former super-middleweight champion Froch believes the decision is all very 'weird' and insists Joshua may feel like there is a rat in his team. Speaking to BetVictor Online Casino, he said: "It doesn’t sound like an ideal setup when somebody training you has been talking to your ultimate nemesis and your next opponent.

"It doesn’t sound right. I don’t know how often they’re in touch, but if they do talk, it’s very strange. It’s weird AJ has got Ben Davison anyway because he got splattered by [Daniel] Dubois with Ben Davison in his corner telling him to roll the dice. He must be quite cheap. It must be fashionable to have Ben Davison in your corner. I don’t see it, to be honest.

"I know he was with Fury ages ago. I don’t think it’s ideal, I don’t think it’s good. If he’s training AJ and he’s potentially on the phone to Fury, you feel like there’s a rat in the camp. There’s a mole in the camp feeding back."

Boxing icon Amir Khan Joshua's decision to link up with Davison again still won't be enough in his fight with Fury later this year. "He knows Tyson Fury well, but still, a trainer, it’s not enough. A trainer can’t tell him how to fight. You might tell him the fundamentals, that’s about it, really, but a trainer really isn’t going to make a difference," Khan told Hard Rock Bet.

"Mentally, yes. It might be like a bit of a mental advantage that AJ has got over Fury, that I’ve got your old trainer in my corner. But I don’t think it makes a difference because when you’re in that ring, everyone’s game plan changes when you get punched in the face."
