Anthony Joshua\u00a0is back in training, even though he is far from locking down his next opponent.<\/p>\n
The Brit shared a photo of himself in the ring at Finchley Boxing Club on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
The post comes after reports that a showdown against\u00a0Deontay Wilder may now not happen later this year, promoter Eddie Hearn has warned.<\/p>\n
A potential shift in boxing in Saudi Arabia has been attributed as the major stumbling block currently threatening to scupper the fight initially set for this winter.<\/p>\n
The new Saudi management, Skill Challenge Entertainment, are the organisation responsible for staging Tyson Fury’s crossover fight against Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n

Anthony Joshua took to Instagram to show fans he was getting back to work on Sunday<\/p>\n
‘If we don’t get that sorted soon, you’ll probably see AJ fight [someone else] in December,’ Hearn told Boxing King Media.<\/p>\n
‘Firstly, Prince Khalid [bin Abdulaziz] have been great partners with us and great friends. I’m sure we’ll work with that new entity as well. You saw yesterday they throw a lot of money in these things and make some noise.<\/p>\n
‘For us, we’ve agreed to terms for Joshua and Wilder, but until we receive a contract, the fight’s not happening. Everybody has agreed to terms, but until the money is put in place, the fight’s not happening.<\/p>\n
Wilder said he was pleased to see Joshua knock Robert Helenius out in their fight in London earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Joshua beat Helenius in the seventh round with a crushing right hand to make it two wins in a row as he continues his comeback trail.<\/p>\n
