The British heavyweight has reinvigorated his title hopes with a dominant win over Francis Ngannou last month and his sparring partner Jeamie TKV thinks he could be in the sport for a long time to come as he is enjoying work under trainer Ben Davison.

Jeamie told Boxing News: "I don't think AJ was scared before. The difference is he's very confident.

"He believes in what Ben and Lee Wylie are teaching him. That's what gives him the confidence to do what he's doing. I just feel like AJ's going to be a three-time world champion and the way he's moving he's added three (or) maybe five years to his career."

Jeamie sparred with Joshua in the lead-up to a number of his wins last year and he "enjoys" being in the ring with the former world champion.

He said: "It was great. Do you know what, I enjoyed camp with him. It was fun. We had a good time in sparring. Some of my best fun spars. I just really enjoyed the spar, he enjoyed it too. I came in the last two weeks of camp, and did a lot of sparring with him. AJ was sharp and strong. It was fun."
