Anthony Joshua and David Beckham show off free-kick
When Anthony Joshua visited his "childhood hero" David Beckham in Miami, he displayed his football prowess.
The modern training facility of Inter Miami is where AJ, who is presently in Florida, met the Manchester United great.
A video of Beckham striking a trademark free-kick into the net's corner was uploaded to the heavyweight boxing champion's social media platforms.
The following performer, 33-year-old Joshua, may not have appeared as graceful as the football legend, but there is no denying that he possesses some special abilities.
With his instep, AJ, who was running up to the ball, brilliantly curled the ball beyond the goalkeeper's reach and into the bottom right corner of the net.
Joshua took to his official social media to show off the free-kick attempts with Beckham.
Along with the free kick was a message that said, "Kicking ball with my childhood hero 🙌🏾 @davidbeckham
Anthony Joshua's next opponent?
Following the confirmation of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is presently waiting for information regarding his next opponent.
Although Deontay Wilder had been mentioned, AJ had preferred to fight the victor of Fury vs. Usyk.
It seems likely that Joshua would choose to fight Wilder in this much-anticipated mega-money matchup over the unknown Filip Hrgovic for the IBF heavyweight belt.
Joshua vs. Hrgovic, however, might soon gain favor if AJ vs. Wilder does not take place.
Joshua, who recently modeled for BOSS at Milan Fashion Week, is expected to make a decision on his future soon.
