But for now, AJ is keen to enjoy some family time.

On Sunday, Joshua shared two snaps of himself and his son JJ, 5, enjoying some quality time together.

The Watford star sat atop a dirt bike as JJ rode a mini-quad bike in the woods.

Taking to Instagram, Joshua captioned the two snaps: “My General.”

But Joshua’s attention will soon have to turn back to the ring.

On Monday, Fury confirmed his fight with AJ is on for August 14 in Saudi Arabia.

Reaffirming Eddie Hearn’s plan, the Gypsy King told his 4.4million followers: “Got some massive news for you all.

“I’ve just got off the phone from Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia, he’s told me this fight is 100 per cent on. August 14, 2021 summertime.

“All eyes of the world will be on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“And I cannot wait, repeat: cannot wait to smash Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all time.

“This is going to be the biggest sporting event ever to grace the planet earth. Do not miss it. All eyes on us.

“Peace out, God bless, see you all in Saudi! Yes, get in!”

Saudi Arabia hosted Joshua’s title rematch victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019 despite a swarm of criticism from human rights’ campaigners.

A temporary venue was built in Diriyah for the fight that year.

But now Matchroom boss Hearn has promised a new stadium that will ‘shock the world’ for August’s event.

Hearn told Sky Sports: “They want to build a new stadium.

“They have indoors options. In August at 11pm it will be about 23 degrees.

“They want to create something very, very special.

“Last time they built a stadium for the Andy Ruiz Jr fight in just seven weeks and it held 18,000. This will be a similar setup.

“They have the opportunity to hold it indoors but they want to create something that will shock the world.

“They want to build a stadium just for this fight.”
