Anthony Joshua who is still basking in the euphoria of his recent
victory over Wladimir Klitschko, has deemed it fit to hangout and enjoy a
meal with the team that propelled him to boxing super-stardom.
Joshua added the vacant WBA ‘super’ heavyweight title to his IBF
strap when he climbed off the canvas to stop the Ukrainian in the 11th
round of the Wembley scrap.
Daily Mail UK reports
that as he continues to plot his next move, Joshua spent a night out at
the Smith and Wollensky restaurant in London with the friends,
promoters and trainers who helped him overcome Klitschko.

The 27-year-old was joined by the likes of his nutritionist Mark
Ellison, cousin Ben Ileyemi, manager Freddie Cunningham, and strength
and conditioning coach Jamie Reynolds.
Friends Jonathan Constant, James Mulley, Kevin Ayodele and Leon
Skinner also enjoyed the night out alongside Matchroom’s head of boxing
Frank Smith and Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn. His head trainer Rob
McCracken was not pictured, however.
Hearn has guided Joshua since the Watford-born fighter turned
professional. But the 37-year-old was booed by the Wembley crowd when
interviewed after the fight. And he jokingly slammed the world
heavyweight champion for failing to ‘have his back’.
'Ninety-thousand people were booing me, it would have been nice
for the man I shared a journey with to step up to the mic and have my
back. But it’s okay,’ Hearn joked.
Joshua called out Tyson Fury in the wake of his victory over
Klitschko, with the possibility of an all-British super-fight at Wembley
gathering pace.
Fury has not fought since he dethroned Klitschko in Dusseldorf in
November 2015. In the 18 months he has spent out of the ring, the former
world champion has blown up to over 25st.
He is hoping to return to competitive action in July. But he had a
UK Anti-Doping hearing on Monday and remains without a boxing licence.
