AJ GOLDEN TOUCH

- FROM ALEX SPINK

BACK in Anthony Joshua’s Sheffield gym, the job is only half done.

The world heavyweigh­t champion has his fourth belt, following Saturday’s points win over Joseph Parker. Now is the turn of those he trains alongside.

Super heavyweigh­t Frazer Clarke and his England teammates have come to Australia chasing a gold rush, and make no secret of how AJ inspired them. “Not many people can say day in, day out they train with the heavyweigh­t champion of the world,” said Clarke, Joshua’s sparring partner. “We can and it’s great for us all.

“This is not meant to be cheesy, but winners like to be together. Winners drive on winners. That’s certainly the way it is in our gym. Everyone wants to be the best.”
