ANTHONY JOHUA has been practicing his shooting skills in preparation for his match with Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian assassin.
Watford's 32 year-old heavyweight champion lost his WBA and IBF titles to the southpaw sharpshooter on September.
He has also been on training tours to America and Dubai in search of a new training program that would help him regain his focus for the spring.
Floyd Mayweather was the 2012 Olympic champion, but the Olympic icon enjoyed some time with his friends at the Xstrike entertainment center on Monday night.
With 25 kills in the combat simulator, the former champ finished fifth among his eight mates.
He did not like the vibrating belt around his waist that was attached to him when he was shot by a competitor.
It will be worth it if it improves his eyesight and reflexes in the crucial rerun.
AJ has been training hard at the Binous gym in Dubai's Al Quoz area. The Xstrike centre is just five minutes away.
The powerhouse 6ft 6in woman also enjoyed a friendly football match with friends, the former winger playing on an astroturf pitch in the locality.
Joshua mixes business and pleasure while on his Middle East jaunt. There will be major news about his split with Team GB Rob McCracken soon.
Eddie Hearn, the promoter of the Usyk rematch, claimed last month that AJ would make a public announcement about his team in the New Year.
It is unlikely that he will stay in the UK, where his contributions to British sport have made him too heroic to be truly challenged.
Matchroom boss, Anthony Joshua, said that he felt it was time to leave the environment.
"I feel that it's time for him to be roughed up a bit. Not in log cabins in middle of nowhere. It's AJ up there, because they are proud of him.
"It's more than who is training him. It's also about where it will take place.
"He's speaking to people, and I believe he will make an early decision in the new year."
