Joshua certainly appears in shape, after DAZN cameras released footage on Sunday of the star looking ripped as he chopped wood in a training segment. He’s been working with head coach James since splitting with former lead Robert Garcia after just four months together.
And James is impressed by how Joshua is adapting to his methods, saying: “The world hasn’t seen the best of Anthony Joshua,” he said, when the fight was launched. “I know Franklin is a really good fighter, so we’re taking this very serious. I think he [Joshua] will be the guy he is supposed to be on the night.”
