Nigerian Born World Heavyweight Champion, Anthony Joshua has concluded plans to resume training session in August, preparatory for a possible title defence in December this year. The planned resumption of training is coming despite uncertainty surrounding the emergence of an opponent for the title defence.
In a chat with Sky Sports, Joshua hinted that "I’m ticking over, but official camp, I’ll probably start early August. Sometime early August I’ll start my training camp preparing to fight Klitschko or Pulev. I hope there will be a rematch with Klitschko.
The first fight, there wasn’t much trash-talking, but the fight lived up to expectations". If we could do another fight like that, I’d love that. It’d be entertaining for everyone again” he added.
Joshua had earlier defeated Wladimir Klitschko in April at Wembley Stadium, adding the World Boxing Association (WBA) belt to his International Boxing Federation (IBF) title. Although talks are still underway for a possible rematch with Klitscho in October at Cardiff Principality Stadium, Kubrat Pulev is penciled to replace him if negotiations fail to yield positive results.
