ANTHONY JOSHUA is showing off his lean body as he prepares for his fight with Oleksandr Uzyk on September 25th.
AJ, the heavyweight champion, has a larger advantage than Usyk, the former cruiserweight king.
He recently said that he was looking to lose a bit of weight against the "12 round fighter".
Joshua, 31 years old, showed off his current body in an Instagram post.
The Watford-puncher may be getting thinner, but he still has bulging biceps.
He captioned his post with: "Heavy hitta (TAG2]
Joshua recently shared his strategy regarding his body for the Usyk fight later in the month.
Sky Sports interviewed him: "I do take into consideration my weight, but I'm not trying lose weight because I'm a heavyweight."
"I customize my training. I have a lot of experience. I've been fighting great fighters for a while, and I've learned about their training camps.
"I have learned how to prepare my body for certain fights. This fight is going to be a tough one for me.
"I am fighting a 12-round fighter. It would be foolish of me to go into the ring bulky and my muscles screaming for oxygen.
"I have been training in this camp like a fighter for 15 rounds. I'm well-conditioned for fighting. This is the key.
What happens when I train this way? My body adapts to the environment and takes its natural form. This is the body it has taken."
Joshua was 18st 2lb heavier as champion than he was in his career before defeating Carlos Takam (now 40) in ten rounds.
His lightest weight was 16st 13lb when he outboxed Andy Ruiz Jr., 31, in their 2019 rematch, which had been stopped six months earlier.
