ANTHONY JOSHUA seems to be looking at Tyson Fury while he prepares for Oleksandr Usyk's rematch.
The former heavyweight champion will be attempting to earn his belts against the Ukrainian in May. He is already hard at work preparing.
AJ posted a clip of him sparring with his 13.4million Instagram followers last night. The caption was: "Kaboom ![]()
".
Fans also noticed a unique detail in the background.
It appeared that Joshua was viewing the win of Tyson Fury over Deontay wilder on a screen behind his ring.
Joshua, 32, was closely linked to a bout against the Gypsy King last season, but lost the chance when Usyk defeated him.
The Brit might want to see Fury as an inspiration, to remind him of the obstacles that lie ahead.
AJ could also be looking at his compatriot for technical inspiration.

One fan responded to Joshua's video by writing: "The background ![]()
A second comment was added: "Is that Fury/Wilder? He's got in his background ![]()
?"
Joshua could face Usyk on home soil. Wembley or Cardiff's Principality Stadium are in contention.
AJ could travel to the Middle East if he is not in the UK - just like he did in Diriyah for his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr.
Eddie Hearn, promoter, stated that there are offers from all over the world to fight in the Middle East, America, and the UK. It would be great to fight in the UK, and we'll see.
