Joshua and Usyk link up ahead of crunch 2026 moves
Ultimate Tier: PPVs & 185 fight nights included
Anthony Joshua has linked up with former rival Oleksandr Usyk once again as the pair prepare for contrasting 2026 returns.
The Briton is back in training after his involvement in a fatal car crash that resulted in the death of two of his team last year.
While no specific opponent or date has been set, the star is reportedly eyeing a July return to the ring for his next chapter.

The Ukrainian meanwhile is deep into prep work for his WBC heavyweight title defence against Rico Verhoeven in Egypt.
The unified champion is due to defend one of his crowns against the legendary Dutch kickboxer at the Giza necropolis.
Now, the pair were spotted these week training together, as they respectively plot their paths forward for the year and beyond.
Joshua was previously trained by Usyk ahead of last December's comeback bout with Jake Paul, where he won by knockout.
Usyk has meanwhile stated he will fight just twice more after his bout with Verhoeven, including a trilogy bout with Tyson Fury.
'The Gypsy King' ends his own retirement against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London next month.
Fury has long been linked to a bout with Joshua himself however, and the pair remain a prime wishlist option for fight fans too.
