The boxing ring at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield is the same ring where Anthony Joshua won Olympic gold at London 2012.
It’s been moved to his training base and, as he shadow boxes around it, displaying his remarkable speed of hand, it’s impressive.
He is impressive.
It’s no wonder companies are falling over themselves to be associated with the AJ brand.
His people say no to most requests these days, but Joshua is as far from being a detached, untouchable sports icon as it’s possible to be.
His training camp is friendly with no big entourage.
His lifelong friend David is ever present along with his trainer Rob McCracken and a blue tooth speaker for his music.
Apart from his publicist, who is there for our purposes only, that’s it.
This is a place of work, with Joshua, the star of the World Heavyweight scene, a big friendly giant at the centre of it.
There are plenty of other boxers in the gym and he has a word or wave for all of them.
He even waves at me as he walks in and I’ve only met him once before.
