The pair are supposedly set to go head-to-head later this summer and preparations are underway with Hunter being brought into Joshua's training camp as a sparring partner. 

Speaking to Boxing UK, Hunter gave an insight to what camp has been like with Joshua and could not help but praise the former world heavyweight champion's mindset ahead of a crucial period in his career. 

"I came over to Dallas spar with Anthony," Hunter revealed.

"I think AJ wins that fight.

"I think AJ got the upper hand right now. As long as he stays focused he will continue to have the upper hand. It’s all in his favour, I think he wants the fight and I think It’s a good fight for him to have to get his confidence back and continue to display what he’s been working on in the gym.

"AJ Is a good dude, his temperament is great, he trains hard, he’s in good shape, and he’s ready, man. People want to say about new AJ, old AJ, I just think that a lot of us fighters depends on mindset and he has a great mindset right now.”
