Anthony Joshua has discovered an odd new’sparring partner’ in Billie Faiers’ son Arthur, and it could be the most perplexing yet endearing bond ever.
The boxing champion is presently spending his summer vacation with his family in Marbella, Spain, taking a break from training for his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in December.
However, former Towie star Billie has chosen to spend some time in the sun with her husband, Gregory Shepherd, and their two-year-old son Arthur.
Anthony has a small sidekick who will help him train for his next big fight.
Somehow, the cosmos worked to bring the two superstars together, and Anthony ran into Billie and little Arthur on Tuesday.
Anthony Joshua has found an unlikely new ‘sparring partner’ in Billie Faiers’ son Arthur, and it might be the most confusing yet adorable friendship ever.
In a photo shared on Billie’s Instagram, Anthony is seen happily holding Arthur in his arms beside the pool at what appears to be their luxury resort.
‘Chops and his new sparring partner,’ Billie cheekily captioned the image.
Maybe Arthur will be Anthony’s good luck charm when he faces off with Ruiz in the ring again before Christmas.
Chops and his new sparring partner 😉💙
Amazed at the unlikely meeting, one of Billie’s followers said: ‘WHAT KIND OF LUCK DOES ARTHUR FAIERS HAVE?????’
Clearly an admirer of the buff boxer, another follower admitted: ‘I’m so jealous of Arthur right now,’ while another agreed: ‘What Id do to be that child.’
Apparently just as much a fan of the tot as she is the boxing star, one said: ‘MY TWO FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN ONE PHOTO THERE IS A GOD.’
Another admirer expressed confusion at the meeting, noting, ‘I have so many questions…’
Billie and Greg appear to be having a great time on holiday, spending time with Arthur and their five-year-old daughter Nelly.
Billie shared a photo of her family visiting the resort and stated that it is her favorite place to go. (PS: Nelly insisted on wearing my shell clip-on earrings).
Maybe the family will obtain ringside seats for Anthony’s big fight?
