British Boxing Ace Shares Unconventional Recovery Method
Anthony Joshua has left fans wincing after sharing a video of himself undergoing a bizarre 'hot cupping' treatment. The ancient recovery method is meant to improve blood flow and fight inflammation as Joshua prepares for his next fight.
Joshua's Unwavering Dedication to Preparation
Despite winning four successive fights, including a victory over UFC king Francis Ngannou, Joshua is not taking any chances in his quest for five consecutive wins. The fan favourite was seen covered in hot cups in a video he posted on social media, showcasing his commitment to peak performance.
The History and Benefits of Hot Cupping
Hot cupping dates back to ancient times, with records showing its use dating back to 1550BC in Egypt. The method is claimed to relieve pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow and massaging deep tissue. However, it can leave painful-looking marks that may risk tissue damage and infection if not treated properly.
Fans Show Appreciation for Joshua's Efforts
Despite the potentially painful nature of the treatment, fans showed support for Joshua's dedication to recovery and preparation. Messages of encouragement and admiration flooded social media as fans acknowledged his power and strength.
Potential Future Fight with Daniel Dubois
Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has hinted at a possible fight with fellow Brit Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September. While details are still being ironed out, Hearn expressed optimism about making the world title fight a reality with the collaboration of key parties.
