Anthony Joshua spotted sparring with Lawrence Okolie in Dubai
Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been sharing regular updates on his training in Dubai, and the latest footage shows him ramping up his sparring ahead of his important rematch with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
And now WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie has become the latest man to spar with AJ at his training camp.
Footage of the pair was shared on social media by the boxing duo's friend, Napper.
Joshua says he is so deep in his training because it is the only way he can healthily vent his anger over the agonising defeat to Usyk in his own back yard last September.
He also says he has had to make changes to the way he works, but vowed he had more to give the next time he steps into the ring with the Ukrainian.
"I had to make changes. If you remain the same, you get the same results. I've got to look at myself, I can only be accountable for me," he told the BBC.
"I'm angry at myself and the only way I can be in a better place is to get myself right by going out there and performing.
"It's going to be like this for a few months. I do things with a smile on my face, but behind that, there's a lot of tension brewing and the only way to get it out is by training and performing.
"I know I can be better than that night. It's easier to say than it is to do, but within my heart and soul, my brain and body, I truly feel I've got a lot more to give.
"I'm angry. It's growing, but it's fuelling me every day."
