AJ is rocking the gym at a time when most gym-goers are eating snacks.
And his latest training session was overseen by former five-weight world champion and Boxing Hall of Famer Mayweather.
Joshua shared a photo of himself hitting an aqua bag while keeping an eye on his technique with Mayweather on his Instagram Story.
He wrote across the image: “Best to do it and always helping the next generation.”
“Big honor winner @floydmayweather.”
Boxing fans were quick to comment on the pair’s training together, with one saying: “Floyd has a better boxing IQ than anyone in boxing and fought in every style so yes he could help AJ. “

Another said: “We love watching it.
“The haters will keep hating the edge—especially when you’re doing so many things right.”
And another said: “I think it’s cool that he’s going to different trainers/fighters and trying to improve his skills.”
One commented: “That’s interesting.
“Could Floyd’s advice help Joshua defeat Usyk?
Joshua, 32, suffered a one-sided defeat in his clash with Usyk at Tottenham last September.
Mayweather recently said of Ukrainian AJ’s schooling: “It was not disturbing.
“It was just that Anthony Joshua was on TV, everyone saw him. Usyk was one hell of a fighter, a gold medalist if I’m not mistaken, but he was behind the scenes.
,[They’re] Two people with crazy amateur backgrounds, and one man is not being seen and the other man is being seen, so we call it upset.
“No, it’s just that he was working behind the scenes and the other guy was working in front of everyone.
“Eventually, they had to meet and Anthony Joshua came up short.”
