Anthony Joshua is leaving nothing to chance ahead of his comeback bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami next month.

The 36-year-old, who has not fought since his devasting knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September last year, has linked up with the team behind reigning world champion Oleksandr Usyk to prepare for the eight-round contest on December 19.
