Garston’s Anthony Joshua helped set a new world record last month just a few weeks after his win over Joseph Parker at the end of March.
The world heavyweight champion was one of 541 people to take part in the world’s largest boxercise lesson in London. Boxercise is a class that includes elements of boxing training using pads and gloves but no sparring. The huge group of men and women were taken through 10 rounds of exercises.
After the lesson, official Guinness World Records adjudicator Pravil Patel presented a certificate to Anthony Joshua – yet another award to add to his collection of boxing belts and medals.
The event was organised by Lucozade to promote a new drink, as well as encourage more people to get active.
IBF, WBA and IBO title holder, Anthony Joshua, said: “It’s been really exciting to be part of setting a new Guinness World Records title with Fitwater. To get over 500 people taking part in something I’m passionate about is amazing. I hope our world record success inspires more people to get moving and involved in Boxercise.”
Lucy Grogut, Head of Lucozade Sport, said they were delighted to have Joshua on board.
She commented: “AJ is a huge inspiration and to achieve more world record success is a testament to him as an athlete. It has also allowed us to emphasise the importance of hydration when exercising.”
