BOXING fans are convinced another world title could be in the offing for Anthony Joshua after seeing his latest training clips. The former two-time unified heavyweight champion is at a career crossroads following a devastating fifth-round KO defeat to former sparring partner Daniel Dubois last September. Joshua, 35, has been recovering from niggling injuries since the Wembley war but is slowly but surely ramping up training.

The London 2012 gold medallist recently shared videos of himself shadowboxing with his near 17 million Instgram followers. AJ looked to be in tip-top shape, as he always does. But viewers of the clip were more impressed by his keeping up of his hands as he threw combinations. After the clip was shared on X, one commented: "He looks in great shape, he's going to return with a win.". Another said: "He's keeping his hands up, needs to make sure he does that in his next fight.".

And another said: "Yeah now he needs to keep them up, especially so he doesn't visit hook city.". One remarked: "He needs to keep working on his defence to protect his chin.".

Joshua was on course for a historic Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury after his Brit rival's back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.

But Fury threw a spanner into the works of the mammoth melee by announcing his fifth retirement from the sport. And Team AJ have pivoted from the fight, with promoter Eddie Hearn telling Betfred: "The number one choice for AJ is to fight for the world heavyweight title. "That’s 99 per cent of what he wants to do and if that’s Daniel Dubois, no problem. "If that’s Joseph Parker, no problem. If AJ turns around and says that’s what he’s doing, then it’s done.
