Rare view by Joshua's first mechi as a boxer

The Briton has been missing in the ring for nearly a year now, after defeating Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia, last year, Periscopi broadcasts.

The next match with Cubrat Pulev has been delayed for several years and, after being postponed due to the pandemic, is finally expected to take place at the Wembley Arena unless late Saturday.

Joshua joins the ring as a favourite, but Pulev, the natural challenger for the title IBF, is clearly capable of causing surprise.

However, with all reports suggesting that AJ is in the best form of his life, it is difficult to see something other than a victory for Joshua.

Now, as the mechi approaches rapidly, rare images have been published from Joshua's first encounter in boxing.

It's fascinating to be seen, with Joshua working in seconds. /Periscope. com/
