ANTHONY JOHUA channeled his inner James Bond and showed off his toned physique as he emerged from the water while taking a break from boxing.
The 32-year old, who was on a ski holiday in Oregon recently, is now unwinding before a big 2022.
Anthony Joshua, boxing's star boxer, is taking a break from boxing after he lost against Oleksandr Uzyk
After being defeated by Oleksandr Uzyk in September, AJ wants to regain the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles.
He activated his rematch clause immediately to face the Ukrainian opponent again. However, Tyson Fury, his British rival, has asked him to step aside to fight him for all of the belts.
The Gypsy King told 2012 Olympic gold medallist Oleksandr Usyk to "get the f*** off with it" as he looked to Oleksandr Usyk to be his 'absolutely batter'.
Joshua is not under pressure to agree to a date with Usyk, or walk away. His latest Instagram post shows this.
Two-time champion of the unified world shared a photo of himself in front of the camera in the ocean. It reminded me of Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.
Captioning the upload, it said: "Just keep my feed active."
As one user commented, his 13.2 million followers were quick with their comments.
Another said, "Looking strong."
A third said: "Don’t leave, be a true champion beat Usyk and then you will be the one unifying."
Eddie Hearn, a matchroom promoter, has said that Joshua will need to stop his rematch against Usyk for at least PS40million.
Hearn has been warned by AJ that AJ will not allow him to approach him with a step-back offer.
Hearn stated to the DAZN Boxing Show that he spoke with him yesterday and they had several approaches.
"No deep conversations, just thoughts about the concept. You let Fury or Usyk fight for undisputed, and you fight the winner.
"Yesterday Anthony said that to me, "Just to warn you, regarding the step-aside. It's against all I believe in. All I want to do is fight Oleksandr Uzyk.
"I trust that you will find a plan that not only offers me a great financial package but also allows me to get to know a new trainer before I enter a big fight for large amounts of money later in the year. If that sounds right for me, let me know.
"But he said that he was adamant, "But I'm afraid you will be under threat if you do that. '"
