A fresh angle has been added to the recent reemergence of former world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Olaseni Oluwafemi Joshua in the gym, as his promoter, Eddie Hearn believes it is only for the fighter to keep his mind busy.

Sports247 reports that, in contrast with widespread speculation that ‘AJ’ is putting himself back in shape, after surviving a fatal accident that claimed the lives of two of his close friends on December 29th, Hearn disclosed that it is the boxer’s hobby.
Hearn went on to declare that Joshua needs a lot of time to recover fully from ‘psychological injuries’ he suffered during the crash near Sagamu in Ogun State, and the promoter added that frequenting the gym is an ideal routine for him.
Hearn further told UK’s IFL, “I have not had the opportunity to see him since the terrible crash. It’s not easy. He is keeping himself busy. Physically, he is getting himself over the injuries that he suffered.
“They are not injuries that will affect him long-term moving forward. They are injuries that will take time. Boxing is a tough and rough sport. You can’t just go back in camp with injuries like that.
“I do not know when or even if he will go back into camp. AJ will always train. Do not forget that boxing changed his life forever and he will never leave the gym.
“What you are seeing at the moment is not him training for his return. He is training for his own mind. And he is training for himself to recover and repair.”
