Fury split with Ben Davison after two years and will team up with Javan "Sugar" Hill, the nephew of the esteemed late trainer, Emmanuel Steward.

Fury, who previously worked with Steward out of the famous Kronk Gym in Detroit, used social media to post a picture of them both along with Hill and former world champion Andy Lee – with the caption: "Getting the old team back up and running."

Fury fought to a draw with Wilder in Los Angeles last December and is expected to fight again in February next year, although the bout has not been officially announced.

Obviously it’s not gonna stop until there’s an answer, Tyson and myself had to both make decisions for our careers, which resulted in our working relationship coming to an end, HOWEVER, we remain friends and he will SMASH the DOSSER!!
