Pic: Ever see a heavyweight boxer with wings before? Get a load of a very ripped Anthony Joshua

Either Anthony Joshua has been drinking a lot of Red Bull or doing a helluva lot of working out because, well, JESUS CHRIST!

Either Anthony Joshua has been drinking a lot of Red Bull or doing a helluva lot of working out because, well, JESUS CHRIST!

We’ve seen a lot of ripped boxers (and we’re not talking about underwear) in our time but we don’t know if we’ve ever come across a specimen in as good nick physically as English boxer Anthony Joshua ahead of his professional debut against Emanuele Leo this weekend.

Joshua, who won a gold medal in the super heavyweight division in the Olympic Games last summer, certainly scrubbed up well for today’s weigh-in ahead of the fight in the O2 tomorrow night, so much so that he even seemed to have wings attached to his muscular torso.

It’s obviously going to be a big night and a tough test for Joshua in his first fight as a professional but judging by how he compares to his Italian opponent, we reckon he might be alright…
