Anthony Joshua looks raring to go for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk as the heavyweight world champion showed off his sharp movement in training.

The British star has moved on from the disappointment of missing out on an epic fight with rival Tyson Fury and is set to face Ukrainian Usyk next. An announcement on that fight is expected soon, with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the slated destination on September 25.
