But the former unified heavyweight champion has made sure to have some fun in the sun with some of the youngest members of his family before he fully immerses himself in training camp.
Joshua shared a reel of himself and his nieces and nephews enjoying themselves on a water raft to his Instagram on Thursday.
His accompanying caption read: “I just realised, I’m that fun uncle now. How time flies!!!”
Boxing fans were quick to comment on the heartwarming clip, with one saying: “Family first.”
Another said: “That’s amazing, family is everything! Stay humble champ.”
And another said: “That uncle that drops £20 to you on your birthday and says, ‘Don’t tell Mum.'”

One came up with a neat pun based on Joshua’s full name, saying: “Funcle Fem.”
Olympic gold medallist Joshua suffered a lopsided points defeat to the undefeated Usyk in their Tottenham tussle last September.
AJ flirted with the prospect of stepping aside from his rematch with the Ukrainian to pave the way for a blockbuster undisputed fight with Tyson Fury but opted not to take the £15million offer.
Joshua will have a new head coach in his corner for his potentially do-or-die rematch with Usyk after ditching long-time trainer Rob McCracken.
The Watford warrior has yet to reveal the identity of the new man in charge, which promoter Eddie Hearn insists will soon become public knowledge.
He recently told DAZN: “AJ will do that himself in due course when camp starts, there’s been training in the US, there’s been training in the UK.
“He’s, he’s got a good idea in his mind now what his team will look like for that training camp.
“I think he’s buoyant. He’s excited. He feels like he’s done the research. He’s done the work.
“In the next three or four weeks, it’ll be time to enter camp and I’m sure we’ll make an announcement about who’s on the team.
“It’s a camp which is going to be very important for his career and one he’s very excited about.”

MIKE TYSON has officially walked away from a showdown with Jake Paul.SunSport revealed last month that former world champ, 55, was in advanced negotiations with Paul, 25, about a big-money exhibition fight in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But Sun Online understands Tyson decided to turn his back on the deal because the numbers didn’t add up.
A source close to the former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ said: “Mike did not want to resume full-scale training to a level that the world would expect, unless he thought the money was right.
“But what seemed like a good idea at the turn of the year is now no longer a top priority.”
Tyson and Paul’s reps had been secretly thrashing out plans for the pay per view bout, expected to happen later this year, with a potential windfall of £36million ($50million).
But a business associate of Tyson told Sun Online: “The last few weeks have seen a change for Mike. He was on board for an exhibition bout with Jake in Vegas, but word is that the deal is not quite what he expected.”
Tyson also isn’t keen on putting his body through the rigours of gruelling training sessions similar to those he did ahead of his victory against Roy Jones Jr. fight.

The source said: “It is not about him not being able to physically dominate Jake, but rather his life is not conducive to training to the level that would be required.
“Mike has so much else going on too in his business life, especially with the expanding marijuana empire.”And at this moment in time the maths don’t add up.”
Tyson has been building a cannabis empire since 2016 through his Tyson Holistic label.
It’s believed he earns around £500,000 per month through his business that offers premium marijuana strains, edibles and extracts.
‘Iron Mike’ is also building a 418-acre weed-themed holiday resort he hopes will be home to a music festival to rival Coachella, as well as the world’s longest lazy river.
And aside from a luxury hotel and the lure of ‘glamping’ tents, there will be a Tyson University on site that will aim to teach cannabis cultivation tips to wannabe farmers.
In recent weeks Tyson played down the story about him talking with Paul’s team.

The source added: ”There is one significant factor in all this for Mike. He does not need or want to take this fight simply to enhance the image of Jake’s fighting credentials.”
In November, Tyson hinted that he was prepping to fight in the Spring when he attended the unveiling of a metal statue of himself at Mulberry Street Pizzeria, Las Vegas.
Tyson added fuel to rumours that Jake or his brother Logan could be his next opponent, admitting: “I am going to have a return fight in February and we are pretty skeptical about the opponent but it will be a really stimulating opponent.”
Former undisputed heavyweight champ Tyson made a spectacular return to the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition bout with fellow boxing great Jones Jr.
Tyson rolled back the years as he fought the former four-weight world champion to a draw.
Tyson had hoped to return to the squared circle last September for a clash with old rival Lennox Lewis.
But 15 months after his triumphant return to the ring, The Baddest Man on the Planet is seemingly no longer keen on lacing up his gloves again.
He recently admitted: “I’m not even interested in doing this stuff. It was just fun at first.

“If it was back when I first started, yes, and we were both fighting on the same card and both active, yeah, we could do it.
“But, it just turned … it just turned bad. It didn’t turn outright.
“I wanted to do it the first time just for fun to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it.”
YouTuber turned boxer Paul, meanwhile, hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his viral KO of former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley last December.
But The Problem Child – who is currently promoting Amanda Serrano’s eagerly-anticipated clash with Katie Taylor – is seemingly eyeing a September return.
During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour: “There’s a lot going on in other aspects of my life.
“I’m going to do these press conferences over the next two weeks here to help with the promotion around Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and I’m very busy on the business side of things with my venture capital fund.

“So I haven’t even got back into the gym or been training at all.
“I need to have a discussion with my coaches but probably I would say August-September maybe. Maybe later. I’m trying to figure it out.
“Obviously if the stars align in some sort of way or I have a change of heart, then things can obviously move around but right now I don’t feel like that motivated to just go right back into another training camp.”

JAKE PAUL admits he’s been nothing but a ‘giggling troll’ since he entered the fight game.The YouTuber has ruffled plenty of feathers in the combat sports sphere since he entered the boxing world in 2020.

Paul, 25, has caused quite the stir over the last 14 months with his repeated social media attacks on UFC bigwig Dana White and MMA superstar Conor McGregor.
And the former Disney star has revelled in the reactions his antics have managed to draw from MMA fighters and boxers alike.
During an appearance on Eddie Hearn’s No Passion, No Point podcast, Paul said: “It’s a little bit of both but it starts with a genuine dislike.
“I told my team like I will never attack somebody unless it feels genuine, I will never really start something. All of the people that I attack 90 per cent of the people is in response.
“I’m not out there trying to create feuds, but I am definitely a troll naturally and I giggle when I post this stuff I find it hilarious.”
Problem Child Paul firmly believes he’s on course to revolutionise the fight game, which he’s likened to the world before the creation of Uber.

Canelo has looked unstoppable in his last two outings against Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant, but unified 175lb champ Beterbiev insists he can do a number on the hard-hitting Mexican.
The undefeated Beterbiev told SunSport: I disagree with your assessment that he is pretty much unbeatable.  
“It is not true. He lost to [Floyd] Mayweather, he had equal fights verses GGG [Gennady Golovkin].”
“With that said, Canelo is undoubtedly a good fighter, he has the technique, he works nicely on the ring, and he has a good punch.
“Of course, I will do my best to beat him, because he is not unbeatable.”
“His loss to Mayweather and equal fights vs. GGG is proof of that.

“I don’t consider myself worse than Mayweather or GGG as a fighter.
“So the result of our fight will show who is the best between the two of us.”
Beterbiev reckons a dust-up with the Guadalajara gladiator – who is on course to face WBA light-heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol – would be a box-office smash.

He said: “I am sure that would be a mega-fight. It will be one of the huge events over the last years.”
Canelo’s ferocity was on full display in his consecutive stoppage victories over Anvi Yildirim, Saunders and Plant.
But Beterbiev doesn’t have the slightest concern about the punching power possessed by the four-weight world champion.

He said: “I think his technical side outweighs his physical force.
“His asset in the boxing is his thinking, he is a smart fighter.
“As for his punch power, I think there are fighters in our division who are stronger than him, who hit harder.
“I don’t follow up closely other fighters, but Canelo seems to be training hard and he gets what he wants.
“As for how I am going to beat him, I don’t want to reveal it to anyone.
“Generally speaking, I would be following the same guidelines I used in my previous fights.

“I will do my best to be fully prepared for this fight and stay 100% focused on it.”
Canelo is closing in on a mega-money deal with Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn and DAZN for bouts with Bivol and Golovkin.
The two-fight deal – which would see Canelo renew his relationship with Matchroom – is understood to be worth a whopping £63million.

The two former World’s Strongest Man winners were initially scheduled to lock horns in September following a brutal war of words dating five years.
However, Brit Hall suffered a detached bicep and the fight had to be postponed.
But now the stage is set for the heaviest fight in boxing history when the two rivals meet in the United Arab Emirates.
Hall weighs a whopping 157kg whereas Thor – who shot to global stardom playing Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane on Game of Thrones – comes in at 145kg.
The Icelandic superstar recently underwent an incredible body transformation as he previously weighed a hulking 205kg.
But Hall, 34, still likes his chances as he insists Thor, 33, will hit the canvas when they unleash hell against each other.

The Beast said: “Not only will this be the heaviest boxing match in history, but it features two immense competitors who have been training intensely to reach peak mental and physical fitness.
“Winning is everything in this once-in-a-lifetime clash. But I know one thing – I want it more and will leave Thor lying on the floor.
“I love it that my fight is the number one most anticipated battle of 2022. It stirs me up – gives me even more drive, if ever that was needed.
“When that bell goes, I won’t be letting anyone down. I’ll be in a zone – THE ZONE – like no one has ever seen me in before.”

Bjornsson respects Hall as an athlete but insists he will knock him out when they collide.
The actor previously said: “Eddie Hall, you better be training your a** off.
“Because I’m coming for you, and I’m knocking you out – you’re going down.
“I respect you as an athlete, and I know you’re training hard, but I am going to knock you out, see you soon!” More
