Anthony Joshua Beaten By Olympic Legend

losing his unbeaten record

Nigerian-Brit boxing sensation, Anthony Joshua, has finally met his match. AJ, who currently holds three of four World Boxing Heavyweight, titles lost a race to swimming legend Michael Phelps in the United States as the boxer continues his holiday. Phelps currently holds the World record for most medals won at the Olympics with 23 Olympic gold medals, as well as three silvers and two bronze to his name, the closest to his record was Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina in the 1950s and 60s who won just nine medals. Joshua and Phelps are both Under Amour athletes, and it would seem that both men engaged in a swim-face-off, and the retired Olympian totally taught AJ a lesson he’ll probably never forget.

Great start to the day! Got to hop in the water for a swim w my man @anthony_joshua ! Had great chats and taught him a few things about the pool! @beckettrphelps already working on his grip!!
