Anthony Joshua is currently looking incredibly shredded, with experts at Ring Magazine recently dubbing his physique as “absurd” ahead of his highly anticipated return to the ring.
This terrifying physical peak comes at the perfect time, as the long-awaited domestic superfight against Tyson Fury appears closer than it has ever been.
Over the weekend, The Gypsy King made a triumphant return to the ring, outclassing giant Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov. Fury secured a unanimous points victory during a massive Netflix-broadcast event held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Immediately after the final bell, the 37-year-old wasted no time addressing his future, grabbing the microphone to directly challenge Joshua, who was watching the action unfold from ringside.
Fury demanded that they finally give the fans the ultimate ‘Battle of Britain’ they have been begging for, urging AJ to accept the massive heavyweight fight then and there.
