• Anthony Joshua met with Floyd Mayweather for a Dubai training session ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk
• Mayweather and Joshua have been close friends for years, with the former multiple-weight world champion now deciding to work with Joshua
• The two-time unified world heavyweight champion will face Oleksandr Usyk in a bid to reclaim the belts early next year

Anthony Joshua has been pictured training under the tutelage of multiple boxing champion Floyd Mayweather.

The pair who have been good friends over the years were pictured in a training session in Dubai as Joshua prepares for a rematch for the heavyweight world title belts he lost to Oleksandr Usyk.

The Briton lost all three belts after he suffered a shock defeat at the O2 Arena early this year to Usyk as the judges awarded the bout to the New Zealander on unanimous points.

The Mirror reports Joshua was joined by boxing icon Mayweather at Binous Gym, where he has been working with a new trainer amid rumours of a split with head coach Rob McCracken.

Joshua himself posted a video on social media platform Instagram capturing him hitting a heavy bag, with Mayweather watching on, with a caption praising the multiple boxing champion for getting involved in his camp.

The former WBA, IBF and WBO champion has been training with a selection of coaches across America - including Virgil Hunter, Eddy Reynoso, and Ronnie Shields since his September loss to the Ukraine ace reports The Sun.

Mayweather had previously promised to help Joshua prepare for his rematch should he ask for it, and it appears the undefeated boxer has made good on his promise.

No date has been set yet for the rematch, but it is expected to take place in the United Kingdom around the end of April.
