Now he’s just making us look bad.

Not content with being crowned the IBF heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua is also determined to shame every son out there by being a better mammy’s boy than you.

The 26-year-old pugilist took home a multi-million pound purse from his bout with Charles Martin, and was eager to share the wealth with the most important woman in his life – his mum, social worker Yeta Odusanya.

The champion boxer still lives with his mother in a modest flat in North London, and credits her for giving him the drive and values that make him the man and athlete he is today.

In order to repay her in some small way, Joshua surprises his mam with a stunning new Range Ranger, thought to be in the region of a cool £80,000 (approximately €100,000). It certainly puts our petrol station bought flowers in the shade.
