And the pressure is on AJ to reclaim his belts after losing last year’s bout in London.

Joshua has been working hard in preparation for the epic bout.

And the winner could end up facing Tyson Fury to unify the division – should the Gypsy King come out of retirement.

However, AJ knows it will be a long and arduous battle against Usyk.

The Ukrainian was the classier fighter in the first match despite his smaller stature.

But new training footage shows Usyk has packed on more more muscle in a bid to make his punches extra powerful.

The ace also looks to have retained his lightning hand speed and quick feet.

And fans reckon that, combined with a bulkier frame, Usyk could have too much for AJ to handle again.
