Rendering his opponents unconscious, however, seemingly became a secondary objective for the 34-year-old after back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk left his career on the knife edge.

But he’s followed up his cagey return to winning ways against Jermaine Franklin last April with emphatic stoppages of Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

And the Watford warrior is now focused solely on securing showstopping finishes, which wasn’t the case shortly after he joined the professional ranks.

As he rewatched his 2014 knockout of Matt Legg at Wembley, where he throws down with fellow Brit Daniel Dubois later this month, he said: “It’s crazy.

“I don’t even put much into the punches. But they’re devastating.

“But the difference is. now, I want to flatline people if I can.”

In stark contrast to his decimation of Legg, AJ’s eagerly anticipated domestic dust-up with Dubois will take place in front of 96,000 fans.

The IBF heavyweight title will be up for grabs, as well as the chance for AJ to become a three-time world champion.
