Nigerian Born World Heavyweight Champion, Anthony Joshua has concluded plans to resume training session in August, preparatory for a possible title defence in December this year. The planned resumption of training is coming despite uncertainty surrounding the emergence of an opponent for the title defence.

The long-rumoured bout between undefeated American boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor is halfway to becoming a reality after the Irish fighter signed a deal for the contest.

Former WBO champion, Wladimir Klitschko has cautioned British boxer of Nigerian origin, Anthony Femi Joshua that battling him will be like confronting Mount Everest when they meet on 29 April.
