The 33-year-old was practicing free kicks with former Manchester United star David Beckham.
It’s fair to say AJ’s strike raised a few eyebrows, with the boxing star giving the keeper no chance to save the ball.
Former Red Devils midfielder Beckham is currently in the news after recently launching his Netflix documentary titled ‘Beckham’ – which follows Posh and Becks in their personal and professional lives, going through their story as well as interviews with the couple.
In the highly anticipated documentary, the Englishman revealed he had to be kept away from Sir Alex Ferguson during their infamous row in 2003 after the legendary Scotsman kicked the former captain English.
As for Joshua, the 33-year-old is currently waiting for a fight and is coming off a stunning knockout victory over Robert Helenius in August.
While the boxing world can’t wait to see Joshua step into the ring with Deontay Wilder, it appears fans may have to wait a little longer to see the two men face off.
Joshua could have a chance to win the vacant IBF heavyweight world title after Tyson Fury’s deal to fight Oleksandr Usyk opens up a new possibility.
ESPN reported that there was a two-way rematch clause confirming a second fight between the two, this gives the Brit a chance to fight for the IBF title.
The rematch clause will allow the loser of Fury vs. Usyk I to force a second fight, but it won’t be an uncontested fight. In the event of a rematch, this would allow Joshua to face undefeated Croatian Filip Hrgovic.
Anthony Joshua knocked out Robert Helenius in his last fight in August at the O2.
