sport news Joshua takes fans inside the 'humble' Sheffield flat where he lives in camp

Anthony Joshua may be the big-money star of British boxing - but the world heavyweight champion is still a man of simple pleasures during training camp.

While the likes of Floyd Mayweather love to flaunt their fleet of flashy cars and mansions, Joshua prefers a more 'humble' life in the weeks before fight night.

The IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight king is currently preparing for his US debut in New York against Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller on June 1.
