Anthony Joshua is taking his fight prep to new extremes, testing unconventional stretching techniques ahead of his potential blockbuster clash with Tyson Fury.

The former unified heavyweight champion posted a jaw-dropping clip of his intense flexibility session at his Dubai training facility, showcasing his dedication to peak conditioning.

Strapped into an advanced Pravilo stretching apparatus, Joshua performed gravity-defying contortions that stretched his limbs into extreme positions before executing rotational movements.

British sports commentators dubbed the punishing routine “torture training” due to its excruciating appearance, though Joshua appeared focused throughout.

“When coach says relax and breathe,” the Olympian captioned the footage with a knowing wink to the intense nature of the session.

Originating from Eastern European athletic traditions, the Pravilo system combines flexibility enhancement with functional strength development for combat sports.

This cutting-edge training comes as Joshua steps up preparations for what could be Britain’s biggest-ever heavyweight showdown against reigning champion Fury.

Sources indicate Cardiff’s Principality Stadium now leads as the likely December venue after earlier New York plans were reconsidered.

The 70,000-seat Welsh arena holds special significance for Joshua, where he previously defended his titles against Takam and Parker in career-defining performances.

Should the historic Fury fight materialize, British boxing fans will finally witness a generational collision between the country’s two dominant heavyweights.
