Anthony Joshua recreates Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuuu' celebration in training | OneFootball

Anthony Joshua channelled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo in training ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua recreated Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siuuu’ celebration after beating training partner Wadi Camacho at a game of pole joust.

The Watford warrior struck the Manchester United star’s famous pose to celebrate knocking Camacho off balance before bursting into laughter.

Joshua had been willing to accept an interim fight against another opponent – but it seems his wish has now been granted.

The news was revealed by Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who spoke to the Ukrainian’s representatives earlier this week.

Hearn told The Mirror: “He’s excited by the news, he’s over the moon.

“I saw him at the UFC and he wants to fight now. He was getting to a stage where he had to fight, and this has really forced the issue with Usyk because we said to them that we understood the situation, but we needed to know now.

“They said they would make their decision and this is their decision, he’s going for it. AJ’s over the moon. He turned down a lot of money not to step aside and then he might not have got the fight without any money. He just wants the fight and he just wants to fight.

“I was at the UFC with him and he was like ‘I just want to get in there’. The only fight that really gets him going is the chance to beat Usyk again. I spoke with Alex last night and we’ll speak again tonight. The plan now is to start working on a June fight. We’re doing it, it’s a goer.”

Hearn was then asked if he had any idea about where the rematch might take place.

He added: “We’ve had four or five offers from around the world.

“It’s effectively a split fight so they’re going to want to know the offers that are coming in to stage the fight.

“We’d like to do it in the UK, but there have been a lot of big offers to stage it abroad. We’ve had offers from the Middle East, a couple of countries in the Middle East, America, the UK, yeah, so I think we have to sit down with Alex and say these are the offers we’ve had and which one do we move forward with.

“We want the fight to happen before the end of June, so probably middle-to-late June, the latest would be the first Saturday in July, July 2.”
