ANTHONY JOSHUA has shown off the results of his elbow surgery as he plots his return to the ring.
AJ went under the knife two weeks ago to fix the arm injury that has kept him out of action.
And Joshua has given a small glimpse into his recovery as he shadowboxed on social media.
Posting to his Snapchat account, he posted: “2 weeks post operation. Back to the grind in a few days.”
Joshua, 35, was knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, at Wembley and looked to be targeting an immediate rematch.
But that failed to materialise with Dubois now rematching Oleksandr Usyk on July 19 in London – two years after losing to the Ukrainian.

Tyson Fury, 36, was last year beaten by Usyk, 36, twice and subsequently announced his retirement in January a month after losing the rematch.
But AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is hoping the unpredictable Gypsy King will make a U-turn and return to fight Joshua.
Talks are ongoing with Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh over a new two-fight deal.
And Hearn told BoxingScene in late May: “He’s had the operation, which went very well, and now he’s just sort of rehabbing it.

“I believe about six weeks till he can punch again properly, and that kind of lends itself to a September, October, November fight.
“That gives us a chance to see what happens with Dubois against Usyk.
“That gives us a chance to see if Mr. Fury will ever return, and maybe something else.
“But he’s definitely fighting this year and looking forward to it.”
