And Joshua gave a glimpse into his heavy duty training camp as he uploaded a picture deadlifting a huge amount of weights.
AJ looked hulking in the snap and fans were left divided in the comment section.
One said: “Keep working hard champ.”
Another added: “Prove the doubters wrong.”
One argued: “Haven’t you learned it’s not about weightlifting?”
Another agreed: “Love it. But that don’t win fights.”
Joshua, 33, returned with victory in April beating Jermaine Franklin, 29, over 12 rounds.
And he is now in talks for his next TWO fights, against Whyte, 35, and Deontay Wilder, 37.

Promoter Eddie Hearn spent last week negotiating a deal for AJ to face Wilder in Saudi Arabia.
But Whyte has also now signed a contract to rematch Joshua on August 12 at the O2 Arena, which could be announced this week.
Hearn told Boxing News on Saturday: “We’ve been setting deadlines, extending deadlines, to get things done and we wanted to announce today.
“But it’s very likely Monday or Tuesday could be an announcement.”
Hearn met with reps from Saudi last week to finalise terms for Joshua to fight Wilder and talks are due to continue this week.
He said: “Obviously with our meetings with Saudi on Friday, Thursday, we’re in a really great place we virtually have a deal agreed in principle subject to a few final discussions.
“We’re meeting them again on Monday. I think we’re in a good place but we want to fight on August 12th, and it’s important to his development and his momentum that he does and that’s still the plan.”
