      And AJ is raring to go as he showed off his ripped body on social media with the caption: “Patiently waiting for the first bell to ring.”
      It left fans stunned as one said: “Wow… Victory.”

      He was controversially beaten on points, with Fury now fighting Oleksandr Usyk, 36, for the undisputed crown on February 17 in Saudi.
      Joshua was due to meet Deontay Wilder until the American suffered a shock defeat to Joseph Parker.
      So instead he steps in with Ngannou, with the winner in line to challenge either Fury or Usyk for the unified crown.
      Joshua looked back to his best after hammering Otto Wallin, 32, in five rounds and credits new coach Ben Davison for the rejuvenation.

      He said: “The reason I was able to gel with Ben is because he doesn’t try to change your style.
      “He just kind of looks at your attributes and then adds to what you are good at.
      “I got to a stage where I was trying to change my style — a bit of back-foot-boxing, boxing behind the jab, stick-and-move, not being explosive, controlling the pace and stuff like that.
      “But Ben was like, ‘That’s not your body type. You’re a f***ing big unit, you’re explosive, go and f***ing knock people out’.
      “Basically, work to your body type. So, we got along. He gets it.
      “I am a power puncher. I break eye sockets. I broke Wallin’s nose and eye socket, Robert Helenius just got sparked out.
      “I ruined Dillian Whyte’s career with an uppercut, the list goes on. Ngannou has to deal with me and that will make it a good fight.
      “I will have a one-track mind, it will just be bam-bam-bam-bang.
      “A good performance is a boring fight as the better fighter is totally dominant.

      “I don’t want a slugfest, I don’t want to swap punches and think, ‘What the f*** am I supposed to do?’ I don’t want to take ten rounds to land a knockout shot.”

      But Barton, 41, took to X/Twitter to blast her appearance saying “you’re dreadful as a pundit”.
      Alongside the TikTok live video, Barton wrote: “Cry me a f***ing river… I was waiting for the victim card to be played.
      “Eni, sorry luv, you’re dreadful as a pundit. Tone deaf, can’t count and most importantly you know next to nothing about men’s football.
      “You should have ran off to a desert island after your ‘Arteta phoning Pep to put a bid’ in nonsense. Everyone is laughing at you. Not just me.”

      But he was blasted online, with commenters taking aim at him for his sexist claims.
      One wrote: “You’re just trying to drive women out of the game.”
      Another added: “But you dislike her because she’s a woman, not because she’s a bad pundit.”
      A third said: “Let me ask you a serious question: when does fair comment become bullying?”

      It comes after Aluko revealed she has left the UK fearing for her safety after being bombarded by online abuse, in a 15-minute video posted on her Instagram account.
      The star said she had not left her house until Friday but is “now abroad” after feeling “genuinely scared”.
      The post also included a stark warning that the online abuse of women working in football was in real danger of ending in tragedy.
      Barton sparked fury earlier this month when he took aim at Aluko and Lucy Ward.
      He dubbed them “the Fred and Rose West of football commentary”.
      Fred and Rose West were two of Britain’s worst serial killers.
      Barton made the comparison as he questioned their legitimacy as pundits after they covered Crystal Palace’s FA Cup draw with Everton.
      But instead of apologising after the backlash, the ex-Manchester City footballer launched another foul-mouthed tirade, likening Aluko to communist dictators Joseph Stalin and Pol Pot.
      Eluko hung up her boots in January 2020 after playing 102 times for England between 2004 and 2016. More

      “A little lad from the east end of Glasgow got to live his childhood dream for 20 years playing at 10 great clubs, meeting amazing people and building relationships with staff and people around those clubs, getting to represent my country, playing over 600+ games scoring over 100+goals and 100+ assists is something I wouldn’t of never imagined doing, then getting told in 2014 I might never play football again after a career ending knee injury to then come back and play another 250+ games is something I am grateful for.
      “Big thank you to my family and friends and my agents @SMi_World for supporting me and being there, I wouldn’t have played for so long if I didn’t have the support of you all.
      “Thank you to my team mates and coaches.
      “Lastly a huge thank you to the supporters who drove me forward and supported me through good and bad times.

      “I always tried to play for the badge and what that meant to the fans and the history and traditions of your football club, also knowing the money you paid to come and watch the least you deserved was a minimum of hard work and I hope I showed you that.
