I completely agree. I had posted earlier that this would've been Davtaev's coming out party. Browne is through.

"coming out party' just means making a name for oneself in public.

"Tyson Fury's trainer Sugarhill Steward is priming heavyweight prospect Apti Davtaev for world title success"

• Tyson Fury's coach Sugarhill Steward is working with heavyweight Apti Davtaev
• Steward is following in his uncle's footsteps by coaching world champions
• Davtaev's fight with Lucas Browne on March 28 has been postponed


Tyson Fury's trainer Javan 'Sugarhill' Steward has returned to his Kronk gym to aid the development of Russian heavyweight prospect Apti Davtaev.

Four weeks after leading Fury to WBC title victory over Deontay Wilder, Steward is in his Detroit-based gym coaching another heavyweight who could one day challenge The Gypsy King.

The Kronk gym has a rich history of producing fighters for boxing's premier division. The late Emmanuel Steward trained the likes Wladimir Klitschko and Lennox Lewis, and Davtaev is the latest to come off the conveyor belt.

At 6ft5in tall, Davtaev is unbeaten in his 21 fights, winning 19 by stoppage.

The 30-year-old's scheduled fight with Lucas Browne - a former WBA champion -in Las Vegas on March 28 has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

However, promoter Dmitriy Salita maintains Davtaev is destined for greatness.

"With Sugarhill in his corner, the sky is the limit for Apti,' Salita told Sky Sports.

Tyson Fury drew his first fight with Deontay Wilder under former mentor Ben Davison in December 2018, but abandoned his elusive style for a more attacking approach when he teamed up with Steward.

Fury executed Steward's plan perfectly in the rematch with Wilder, and Davtaev also prescribes to the trainer's methods.

'Training in Detroit has made me stronger,' Davtaev said. 'I have a fresh new look on boxing. I'm more confident and experienced, and my power has grown immensely.

'I've also become a more aggressive fighter. I go after opponents and try to finish them, rather than just beating them.'

'A victory over Lucas Browne is very important to me,' said Davtaev. 'The heavyweight division is very exciting right now with many top names, and I believe I am one of them.

'I've only seen a few of Browne's fights. He's a tough, experienced boxer.

'I have been looking for a step-up opponent for a very long time. It'll be an exciting fight while it lasts.'

Browne, Davtaev Hope 'Fan-Friendly' Heavyweight Fight Is Rescheduled Soon

Apti Davtaev and Lucas Browne both want their heavyweight fight to be rescheduled as soon as possible.

Dmitriy Salita, Davtaev’s promoter, informed BS.com that he is in the process of trying to make that happen. Russia’s Davtaev (20-0-1, 19 KOs) and Australia’s Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) are remaining ready in hopes that they get a call soon with a new date for a 10-round bout Showtime was supposed to televise March 28 from Park MGM’s Park Theater in Las Vegas.

“I love the fact that I’m able to fight again, to fight in the USA and against a fighter like Davtaev,” Browne told Sky Sports. “He is a very strong and tough man, and it will be two men bashing away in the ring. I feel it will be a very good fight and very fan friendly.”

Davtaev replaced Otto Wallin as Browne’s opponent once Sweden’s Wallin (20-1, 13 KOs, 1 NC) suffered a fractured foot about five weeks before they were supposed to fight. Showtime’s entire card was canceled once the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily shut down the boxing business in the middle of March.

The 6-feet-5, 255-pound Davtaev would’ve fought for the third time in 2020 had he boxed Browne on March 28. He had already scored a knockout apiece in January and February.

“I was very excited about fighting Lucas Browne on March 28 in the U.S.,” Davtaev told Sky Sports. “It was going to be my coming-out party. He is a quality fighter. I was looking forward to the opportunity of showing that I am the new force in the heavyweight division. Training with ‘Sugar Hill’ Steward at his Kronk Gym for the last three years has improved every facet of my game.

“Having such a master coach gives me even more confidence when I go into the ring. He has helped me to utilize my size and power to produce impressive knockouts. I am hoping in the near future I will get a chance to showcase myself against a world-class opponent in Lucas Browne.”


Whereas Davtaev has an established partnership with Javan Steward, the 41-year-old Browne is working with a new trainer, Craig Christian.

“I’ve taken it down to once-a-day training during the pandemic to make sure I don’t burn out and over-train, but to keep active and busy and focused,” Browne said. “I’m in a new gym and with a new trainer, and am very excited about showcasing my skills and making a bang.”
