Anthony Joshua greets passengers onboard London bus as Brit gives cryptic update on boxing future
ANTHONY JOSHUA has been stopping some of the hardest-hitting heavyweights on the planet for the best part of a decade.
But now, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion is stopping London buses.
The Watford warrior, who has been on the sidelines since last September, recently stopped the number 32 bus while it was on its way to Kilburn Park Station.
And the golden boy of British boxing sent passengers into a frenzy by boarding the bus.
They couldn’t quite believe their eyes as the Olympic gold medallist hopped on board.
Scores of the travellers got up from their seats to take photos with the 35-year-old, who was all too happy to make their day.
Before taking a photo with one of the passengers, he said: “Nice to meet you. How are you?”
AJ shared footage of the wholesome moment on his Instagram story for his 16.7million followers to see.
Prior to uploading the clips, he posted a selfie with the accompanying caption: “Back on top soon.”
Fan favourite Joshua hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his crushing fifth-round KO defeat to Daniel Dubois last September.
A long-overdue domestic dust-up with Tyson Fury was seemingly on the cards following his fellow Brit’s back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
But Fury seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the Battle of Britain in January by announcing his fifth retirement from boxing.
But AJ isn’t giving up hope of sharing the ring with the Gypsy King, telling iFL TV: “I feel like it’s the best fight [for me].
“People might say [Joseph] Parker, people might say – I don’t know.
“But I think Fury, commercially, is a great fight and it’s a great man’s fight as well. So I think it makes sense.
“You could say it’s been years in the making. “But listen, the heavyweight division has been thriving.
“And why I say it’s probably still a great fight is as I said Parker is, for me, a great story of someone that never gives up.
“And the thing is, there is going to be one winner and one loser.
“And there’s going to be bloodshed. And it ain’t gonna be mine.”
