Anthony Joshua has been told he needs to return to being a "beast" ahead of his heavyweight return.
Joshua has not fought in the ring since losing for a second consecutive fight to Oleksandr Usyk in their Saudi Arabia rematch last August. The British star has since parted ways with trainer Robert Garcia and is eyeing a comeback in spring after travelling to the US to begin his training camp.
AJ's return is yet to be officially confirmed but it has been revealed by promoter Eddie Hearn that he will take on a top 15 ranked opponent as he eyes a return to world title contention in 2023. One man who is also eyeing world heavyweight supremacy, Filip Hrgovic, has suggested that Joshua has been focusing too much on trying to box his way to victory.
