Anthony Joshua back in the gym after knockout win against Francis Ngannou
After knocking out Francis Ngannou, Anthony Joshua is back in the gym.
After a turbulent 2021 and 2022 in which he lost his belts to the unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk and then was unable to win them back in a rematch, Joshua has painstakingly returned to his previous level of performance.
April's points victory over Jermaine Frankin, August's knockout performance over Robert Helenius, December's technical stoppage of Otto Wallin, and March's knockout of Francis Ngannou are just a few of his recent victories.

Anthony Joshua set for return
Many had assumed that Joshua would wait to comment on the results of the May 18 fight between Tyson Fury and Usyk, or that he may face Fillip Hrgovic for the IBF title after that. However, the British boxer has thrown a curveball by agreeing to take on an opponent who has not yet been revealed.
Joshua hinted that he would soon be back in the ring in his Instagram Story.

The British celebrity is seen in the picture talking on the phone and captioning the image with the exchange.
There is a lot of conjecture surrounding Joshua's opponent as he gets ready for his next fight possibly against Joseph Parker.
Filip Hrgovic will fight Daniel Dubois, while Deontay Wilder will fight Zhang Zhilei.
