Much respect, AJ

He may be the IBF heavyweight world champion, but Anthony Joshua is also the peoples champion.

The Watford-fighter returned to the scene of his first foray into boxing by visiting Finchley ABC boxing club.

Where he met up with the man who took him under his wings - Sean Murphy.

Joshua began his fighting career as an amateur under the tutelage of Murphy who remains a close friend.

And the 27-year-old repaid the faith shown by him with a brilliant gesture. Joshua surprised Murphy with a brand new car.

Incredible gesture. And not just any car but a fucking BMW M6 which also includes a personalised number plate.

Joshua has experienced a meteoric rise to super-stardom since his days as an amateur in the Finchley gym.

He claimed an Olympic gold medal in 2012, subsequently turning professional and becoming a heavyweight world champion in just his 16th professional fight.

As a result, he became just the second British fighter to bag an Olympic medal and world title following in the footsteps of James DeGale.

After scoring 18 wins in his 18 bouts - all by KO - Joshua now faces his acid test as a pro.

He takes on former unified world champion Wladimir Klitschko in under a week at Wembley Stadium.

Joshua has the opportunity to not only have Klitschko's scalp on his record but to unify the division by collecting the vacant WBA super-title.

April 29th can't come soon enough!
