Anthony Joshua has been chopping wood in preparation for his upcoming ring return against Jermaine Franklin, taking a leaf out of the legendary Earnie Shavers' book.
The two-time world heavyweight champion is back in action on April 1 at the O2 Arena in London with a tune-up bout against Franklin. And in his first UK fight since late 2021, Joshua will show off the changes he has made under his new trainer Derrick James while working out in Texas.
And he has said that his new regime of chopping wood as an intensive workout is straight from Shavers, who was one of the hardest hitters in heavyweight boxing history. Joshua is a big advocate for modern training methods, but wants to go old school while training in America for his new camp.
