For a considerable while now, Anthony Joshua has been engrossed in his training regimes for his September 25 fight. In this contest, the hard-hitting heavyweight will meet Oleksandr Usyk and will look to defend his WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles.

This is one career pivoting fight for the Brit and he knows it more than anyone else. Hence, as he is not ready to let Usyk pull off an upset, he isn’t leaving any stones unturned in his preparations. Recently, ‘AJ’ released a compilation video on his Instagram, wherein he talked about his training camp for Usyk.

He said, “The better you prepare, the better you execute your strategy, you know. So, my head’s in the right place. I’m looking forward to competing. I’m blessed to be in a position to be able to represent the heavyweight championship of the world, with pride, my God, and I’ll do a good job.”

“With that on my back, I’ll make sure that I’m all well equipped to put on a good show for the supporters, and make sure I get a good fight.”
