Anthony Joshua had some fun in training by sparring numerous young fighters in an entertaining session.

AJ is poised to resume his preparations after revealing that he would face Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21 in his quest to become a three-time world heavyweight champion.

Joshua sparred two youngsters at once in a playful session.

Joshua has been taking some time out to have some fun after a busy week at the launch press conference, where tensions rose with his opponent.

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist was tasked with sparring multiple youngsters in the boxing ring at the Finchley ABC gym, who were clearly up with the challenge of taking down the heavyweight giant.

He began by sparring one at a time, with both slightly tentative as Joshua looked to get his movement going.

But it wasn’t until the pair were released at the same time, where they really let their hands go with Joshua.

Joshua first fought off the ropes as both teenage fighters let their hands go to the boxer’s body and began giggling.

Later on, the pair took Joshua on one-on-one and landed some shots go as he jokingly cowered and held his guard up.

One of the challengers even landed a looping overhand right which tagged AJ, who jokingly shook his head.

As the 35-year-old came to the camera, it emerged that he had suffered a small nick which a drop of blood had been drawn from.

Joshua showed off a tiny nick he sustained during the spar.

He shouted, ‘Who did it?,’ to which one owned up, where Joshua gave him a nod of respect.

It was a heartwarming moment for Joshua who has always been keen to help out in the local community.

But his focuses will now turn to business as he looks to cement his name in an elite club as a three-time champion.

The power-punching Briton has been in much-improved form under the stewardship of Ben Davison – beating Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in dominant stoppages.

And former world champion George Groves believes it is a very exciting fight, but makes AJ the narrow favourite.

He said: “I’m excited about that fight. I think it’s a great fight. Both guys are in great form.

“Anthony Joshua seems to have had a new lease of life under Ben Davison. His last fight was pretty good, albeit against a cage fighter.

“Daniel Dubois, he got caught a lot against Hrgovic but he weathered the storm and broke his heart.

“It’s an interesting fight. If you think Anthony Joshua walks that fight then, that’s not really wise. Do you make Joshua the favourite?

Joshua and Dubois will headline Wembley for the IBF belt on September 21.

“Sure, but I think Dubois is certainly in with a shot in that fight. He’s improving fight-on-fight.

“26 years of age, confidence under him, punches hard which we know, decent chin that takes the licks. He really backs himself now.”
