Meanwhile Joshua still has his eyes firmly set on the rematch with his Ukrainian rival, and seems more pumped than ever after losing his titles in London.

Speaking about meeting Usyk for a second time he told iFL TV: “I have one thing in my mind, that’s war, that’s murder, that’s war, let’s go out there and hurt the guy.

“Take his soul to the point where he wants to give up. That’s what boxing’s about, I’ve learned that.

“You hit people constantly, keep on applying a certain amount of pressure, before they know it they’ll realise you aren’t going anywhere, you’re here to stay.”
