The former unified WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua is unintentionally on a layoff since he clashed with the Ukrainian stalwart Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021. The British star was most likely to slug in a rematch according to the contract, but due to tension in the reigning champion’s country, the fight is in the cold mode.

However, because of certainty and the pressure to clinch back the lost throne, AJ is sweating hard in his training sessions. Very often, he drops brief video clips about the same on social media platforms for his fans.

Recently, in a video that was reported by Michael Benson on Twitter, Joshua reproduced the signature move of legendary soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Benson wrote, “Anthony Joshua emulating Cristiano Ronaldo with a SIUUU in the gym.”

For checking the advanced footwork drill on a horizontal long bar in the gym, Joshua and his companion had a match-up. Both took two soft thick rectangular-shaped small pieces to feint and hit each other while keeping the body balanced on the bar. Eventually, within a few seconds of the drill, his companion could barely stand on the bar and ended up landing his foot on the floor.

This minor victory delighted Joshua to such excitement that he copied the signature move of Cristiano Ronaldo while taking a jump from the bar and shouting SIUUU.

Notably, the Portuguese megastar Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for showcasing his unique move after scoring a goal or securing victory in the match. It has gained so much popularity that other sports stars very often copy it.

What is Anthony Joshua doing now?

Because of uncertainty on the rematch, a long spell of inactivity from the ring had made Joshua think of something else before colliding again with the reigning champion.

According to talkSport.com, AJ and his team even started planning an interim bout to avoid a long break. It will surely boost the confidence of the former champion after a crushing defeat.

However, the news of Usyk resuming his training in Poland is making headlines. It is one of the biggest highlights of the heavyweight division. Probably, we could see Joshua in the ring soon.
