Anthony Joshua revealed his talent for freestyle rapping whilst being interviewed by Louis Theroux on Tuesday afternoon.

After taking revenge for his previous defeat to Andy Ruiz, Joshua marked his triumph with a party thrown by JD Sports, during which he shared the microphone with rapper Headie One and celebrated his victory.
