ANTHONY JOSHUA looks shredded he uploaded pictures hitting the heavy bag after signing to face Tyson Fury.
The unified champion and WBC king Fury put pen to paper on a two-fight deal, with a date and venue now still yet to be agreed.
Promoters have 30 days to secure a host and time frame, and even then if either superstar does not like the package they can walk away.
But still, it has not stopped Joshua, 31, from getting down to work as he took to social media to show off his workout.
AJ was pictured training at his former Finchley amateur club but will be expected to move down to his regular team GB base in Sheffield closer to the fight.
Fury, 32, on the other hand has been more coy about his preparations, claiming to have stopped training until there was an official announcement.
The unbeaten Brit even said he was drinking up to 12 pints a day, but fans were quick to predict the Gypsy King was up to his usual mind games.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn was one to quickly to play down Fury’s remarks.

Hearn told iFL TV: “I don’t know whether he was in a bad mood or pulling everyone’s plonker.
“What I do know is everyone has put a lot of work into this deal and he is on board.”
Fury later attended an MTK fight night to support his friend Isaac Lowe, and reiterated his belief he could beat AJ even after a heavy drinking session.
He said: “I could drink 14 pints and still give AJ a hiding.
“I’m not training anymore. I only need six/seven weeks anyway for these bums.
“I don’t need no big, great sparring partners for a bodybuilding type of guy, I just need the local binmen.”
