Anthony Joshua looks to be firing on all cylinders ahead of his next fight.
The Watford powerhouse recently revealed to talkSPORT that he will return to the ring on September 20 or 21 at London’s Wembley Stadium.

AJ insists that whoever ‘looks the most impressive’ out of Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang and Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois on the Matchroom vs Queensberry 5 vs 5 card next month will be the frontrunner to box him next.
Meanwhile, he also has his eyes firmly set on the winner of the much-anticipated undisputed clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk once they fulfil their two-fight agreement.
Joshua is keeping himself ticking over in the meantime and recently uploaded a clip of himself shadowboxing in the gym after a gruelling session on Thursday.
The Brit showed off his blistering speed as he let his hands go while boxing fans watched on in amazement.
Reacting to the video, one supporter wrote: “Fastest heavyweight in the world.”
Another tweeted: “Faster than fast.”
A third added: “Speed demon.”
The fight Joshua really wants is the long-awaited all-British showdown with Fury.

Both men have been in negotiations to face each other on several occasions to no avail but that could all change very soon.
Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, recently named Fury vs Joshua among the top three fights he wants to make.
As we have seen time and time again since he first entered the sport six months ago, H.E. Alalshikh gets what he wants.
And according to Joshua, they are both on the ‘same page’ when it comes to that fight.
Speaking to talkSPORT’s Jon Jackson ahead of the Formula E Monaco E-Prix, last week, Joshua said: “We’re on the same page and he’s on the same page as the fans as well.
“He’s trying to deliver what the fans want, I know they want that big fight with Tyson Fury and he’s working on it.
“But Fury’s got his obligations with Oleksandr Usyk so I’ve gotta make sure I stay focused and disciplined, keep steamrolling through opponents so I can get closer and closer to having the opportunity of me vs Tyson Fury.”
