In Photos: Anthony Joshua looks in serious shape while sweating it out at the gym
Two months away from his heavyweight title fight with Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua is claiming to be the "best in class" as he shows off his current physique on Instagram. At 34 years old, Joshua has been a popular name amongst fans when considering the best physique in boxing.
With a post on July 18, Joshua impressed fans with images from a recent strength and conditioning training session. The released snapshots make it difficult for anyone to argue that he is not in the best shape of his career.
Captioning the Instagram post, Joshua said:
"Dw about being popular. Worry about being the best in class."
The fight with Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title will be the 32nd in the professional career of Joshua, who once held the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles on two separate occasions.
In his preparation for his first world championship since 2022, Joshua showed off the improvements he made in his strength and power.

Is Anthony Joshua a bodybuilder?
Due to his elite physique and previous status as champion, Anthony Joshua has been one of the most marketable athletes since his rise to stardom. The boxer was previously ridiculed by his peers and some analysts for being too muscular for the sport but has continuously shattered that narrative with his consistent success.
While Joshua can often resemble the look of a bodybuilder, the 34-year-old has never dabbled in any professional sport other than boxing. Instead, 'AJ' is known for his love of his rigorous strength and conditioning routine that he often shares pictures of on social media.
Throughout his career, Joshua has been one of the most dominant power punchers in the sport but was previously labeled as a one-trick pony, even during his reign as champion. However, due to the improvements he has shown in recent performances, many believe the heavyweight has ventured away from relying on his power and showed significant improvement with his new style.
