Anthony Joshua has revealed he can take a big shot outside the boxing ring as well as in glove-to-glove combat.The heavyweight world champion, who last month successfully defended his WBA and IBF belts, revealed another talent on Thursday.Joshua teased a funny picture of him on a football pitch, unloading a cracking left-footed drive and comparing himself to Roberto Carlos while everyone cowered away.

"LOOK AT THEIR FACES"

He wrote: "Gone for the Roberto Carlos, look at their faces 😯😑😵😅."

Roberto Carlos, who starred for Real Madrid for over a decade, came to worldwide fame with a stunning free-kick for Brazil against France at Le Tournoi in 1997.

Londoner Joshua's hopes of challenging for another world heavyweight title appeared to move a step closer last week after his promoter Eddie Hearn insisted a bout with Deontay Wilder must get made in 2018.

Joshua was also recently filmed playing another sport, turning his hand to beach volleyball, with mixed results.

Probably best to sick to boxing, AJ.

Football isn't exactly the Brit's forte but that didn't stop him from taking advice from the likes of Troy Deeney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently.

Ibrahimovic was in attendance at Joshua's fight with Carlos Takam and visited him in his dressing room to have a chat.

"Zlatan loves his boxing and his mindset is phenomenal but he picked me up on something I said after my fight with Wladimir Klitschko earlier in the year," Joshua said.

"He pointed out that I'd said 'I'm not perfect, but I'm trying'. Then he said 'No, no no. What you must is say is 'I am perfect and I'm not trying!'"
