ANTHONY JOSHUA is now in the final stages on his road to redemption against Oleksandr Uzyk as he taper down his training camp.
Joshua lost 12 rounds to Usyk at Tottenham's Stadium in London last September, and was defeated. He also surrendered the unified titles.

Anthony Joshua will rematch Oleksandr Usyk August 20
AJ is only one week away from rematching unbeaten Ukrainian in Saudi Arabia where he hopes to win his belts back.
Joshua, 32, traveled to the Middle East in less than a month, with more than a month left before the big heavyweight title fight.
He would have had time to adjust to the heat and conditions.
He posted an Instagram picture while jogging, captioned "Road Rage."
Usyk, 35 years old, continued his preparations for Dubai. There, he met up with Amir Khan, 35, an ex-British champion in the world.
Usyk snorted when asked if he was prepared for battle.
Joshua has replaced Rob McCracken, his long-time coach, with Robert Garcia, an American trainer.
He completed a large portion of his training at Angel Fernandez, the assistant trainer in Loughborough.

However, Usyk was not intimidated by the change in scenery. He told Parimatch that Anthony Joshua is a strong man and a good boxer and that he can't be dismissed.
He will be different in the rematch. He will prepare differently. "I will also do that."
Usyk said, "I'm confident in my work and I do my job to its fullest." To be 100% certain about something like that is impossible.
"I don't know. But I know what my job entails. I work, I box, but victory is granted by the Lord."
