Anthony Joshua showed off his kickboxing skills during a gruelling training session on Monday.
AJ is currently ticking over in the gym after dispatching former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou inside two rounds in his last outing in March.
The Cameroonian cage fighter had caused Tyson Fury all kinds of problems during their nip-and-tuck affair five months prior.
However, Joshua faced no such challenges as he dropped Ngannou twice before sending him down and out with a clubbing right hand.
The finish was incredibly conclusive but after witnessing Joshua throwing some kicks on the pads in training earlier today, fans want to see the heavyweight titans rematch in MMA.

Reacting to the video, which was uploaded to Joshua’s Instagram story, one fan wrote: “Bro is coming to finish Ngannou off in MMA.”
Another tweeted: “Rematch with Ngannou but MMA this time.”
A third added: “Might as well go to MMA and KO Ngannou.”
But not everyone was as impressed with what they were seeing.
One supporter remarked: “That’s horrific.”
Another wrote: “Looking stiff asf.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “Can see the kick, cook a full five-course meal, go to sleep, wake up, go to work, come back and then dodge
Joshua recently confirmed that he will return to the ring in September.
The Watford powerhouse had hoped to fight again in June but it appears his team are holding out for something big later in the year.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, announced last month that he is planning a ‘huge’ boxing show at Wembley in September – and logic suggests AJ could be part of that card.
That could mean Joshua fighting for the soon-to-be-vacated IBF title or boxing the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Fury if the loser accepts a step-aside fee to let it happen.
AJ won’t be staying in boxing for long though.
The 34-year-old revealed last week that his initial career plan was to retire at the age of 35 this October.
He’s not said he intends to fight on for two more years, but it appears the curtain is beginning to fall on Joshua’s boxing career either way.
