ANTHONY JOSHUA is in impressive shape as he prepares to return in December.<\/strong><\/p>\n The former heavyweight champion is on a mission to reclaim his belts.<\/p>\n Joshua, 34, recently went on a four-day darkness retreat in a bid to "build character".<\/p>\n The \u00a32,000 exercise saw the Brit cut himself off from the outside world – with "no phone. No TV. No radio. No audiobooks" and no human contact.<\/p>\n If AJ is feeling better mentally following the retreat, he is also in excellent physical shape.<\/p>\n Joshua posted a picture of himself looking chiselled in the gym last night alongside coach Derrick James.<\/p>\n He captioned the snap: "Prepare for glory."<\/p>\n Fans marvelled at Joshua's post, with one commenting: "Yess Champ looking in Tremendous Shape looking absolutely Hench."<\/p>\n A second gushed: "Proud of you AJ."<\/p>\n While a third wrote: "Back in the lab."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Another added: "The Dream Team. LETS GO CHAMP !!"<\/p>\n Joshua has been linked with a mega-bout against fellow former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.<\/p>\n Appearing at the Formula 1 last weekend, AJ said: "The next window will be in March-April, so that\u2019s probably when the undisputed fight will happen.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we are being told is they want to make it a mega card and they like the sound of Joshua v Wilder on the same night."<\/p>\n Promoter Eddie Hearn blamed Wilder for a previous deal for the pair to fight falling through.<\/p>\n The Bronze Bomber subsequently said on Instagram: "Another thing I want to address is a fight that everyone is looking forward to and hopefully happens.<\/p>\n "I\u2019m doing everything in my power to make it happen \u2013 I\u2019m referring to the Anthony Joshua fight.<\/p>\n "So Anthony \u2013 you\u2019re hearing it from my mouth \u2013 I\u2019m here, I\u2019m ready, I\u2019m ready to go.<\/p>\n "I heard some things\u00a0your promoter\u00a0said that my last fight only lasted a short period of time and I ain\u2019t fought in a year and he don\u2019t know if I want to fight or not.<\/p>\n "I\u2019m letting you know right now, right here, I\u2019m ready to fight man."<\/p>\n Joshua plans to return in December against an unnamed opponent, before potentially facing Wilder in the spring.<\/p>\n He added: "I\u2019ve got to stay busy. I\u2019m not listening to all the noise about Wilder and these guys. When the opportunity comes, we will be ready."<\/p>\n
