Training Resumes: Anthony Joshua, 34, Works with Coach Ben Davison, Receives Support to Continue Fighting into His 40s.

Anthony Joshua has returned to training with Ben Davison, the heavyweight champion who has garnered support to continue fighting into his forties.

AJ recently defeated famed mixed martial artist Francis Ngannou via brutal second-round knockout in March.

Ben Davison and Anthony Joshua have already resumed their training.

It was his second game under head coach Davison, following a December victory over Otto Wallin via stoppage.

And AJ tweeted a photo of himself on the pads in Davison’s Harlow gym, showing that the two are not wasting any time getting back to it.

Joshua, 34, looks back to his best under his new coach and one man who can attest to that is sparring partner Jeamie Tshikeva.

And Tshikeva – nicknamed TKV – reckons AJ has banked himself another five more years in the sport which would take him to 40.

TKV told Boxing News: “I don’t think AJ was scared before. The difference is he’s very confident.

“He believes in what Ben and Lee Wylie are teaching him. That’s what gives him the confidence to do what he’s doing.

“I just feel like AJ’s going to be a three-time world champion and the way he’s moving he’s added three maybe five years to his career.”

TKV, who has a 6-1 record, provided Joshua with sparring before the emphatic KO over Ngannou, 37.

And he said: “It was great. Do you know what, I enjoyed camp with him. It was fun. We had a good time in sparring.

“Some of my best fun spars. I just really enjoyed the spar, he enjoyed it too.

“I came in the last two weeks of camp, and did a lot of sparring with him. AJ was sharp and strong. It was fun.”

Joshua is waiting on news for his next fight but it could be determined by the outcome of Tyson Fury’s unification against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

The two are expected to rematch right after, meaning AJ will either wait for the winner or take an interim bout in the meantime.
