Anthony Joshua imitates Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration during vacation in Portugal

In a video recently posted on social media, with his right hand spinning in the air, Anthony Joshua enters the frame from the bottom of the screen. He then jumps and rotates to land in the recognisable wide-leg and wide-arm position.

The gorgeous setting sun in this short video casts the 6'6" tall fighter's broad shadow across the sand due to how the clip was captured.

Cristiano Ronaldo is someone whom Anthony Joshua has long admired and respected for his strength and ability to perform at the highest level. The two athletes had already been seen hanging together in Dubai.


Jose Mourinho and AJ were seen in a snapshot taken in 2017 at the Manchester United training centre. Although he flatly denied being a Manchester United fan.

Joshua's video was published after Ronaldo started for Erik ten Hag in just his fifth season at United during their Europa League match against Cypriot club Omonoia at Old Trafford.
