ANTHONY JOSHUA returned to his old stomping ground to train – just days after knocking out Jake Paul.
Joshua posted a series of videos on social media from Finchley Amateur Boxing Club – where he first started the sport as an 18-year-old.
AJ could be seen hitting the pads in his first-ever gym – hinting he is already preparing for his next move.
Joshua, 36, knocked out Paul, 28, in six rounds while brutally breaking the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s jaw in two places.
The Miami mismatch was viewed by 33 MILLION on Netflix – with AJ already lined up for a return in Riyadh in February or March.
A September showdown with Tyson Fury, 37, is then pencilled in with Wembley in line to host.
Fury retired in January one month after his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, but the Gypsy King has continued to tease a comeback.
The two-time heavyweight champion is braced for a comeback bout in April before his potential blockbuster with AJ.
Promoter Frank Warren told SunSport: “I’m told AJ’s definitely fighting in February, so it’s tight and if you’re going to put it on either Wembley or Riyadh, that’s where it would go.
“And I believe Wembley’s the home for it. And if it’s Wembley you’ve got to wait till summer anyway.

“So Tyson is not going to sit around waiting seven months before he steps back in the ring having been out for nearly a year anyway.
“But he won’t be fighting a YouTuber!”
Warren added: “I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago, because he’s been travelling and it’s simplistic with Tyson, ‘You know, what my requirements are, if they get met, I’ll be there on the night.’
“He’s said he wants to. I know he’s sort of been he training, not training to fight, but he’s been ticking over and keeping himself fairly well.”
