Anthony Joshua buys team bus for first boxing gym in heartwarming nod to humble roots

ANTHONY JOSHUA has put the next generation on the road to success by giving his first ever gym a brand new team bus.

The world heavyweight champ, 28, has sped from Olympic hero to boxing superstar.

But he has not forgotten his roots and has now bought a minivan for delighted youngsters at the Finchley District and Amateur Boxing Club in Barnet, North London.

AJ posted a video of the hopefuls on board their new motor as they listened to Stormzy.

Kiwi Joseph Parker, 26, is the next bump in the road for Joshua, who is aiming to unify the division with an eventual fight  against 32-year-old Deontay Wilder.

It's not the first time Josh has helped his old pals out, having given his first coach Sean Murphy a £58,000 BMW 6 series last year.

The Finchley club has a special place in the champ's heart.

He said: "These guys will always have their doors open for me no matter what.

"When it's all said and done, I never forget who's been there when no one was.

"This is just something off my own chest. There'll be a lot more to come, don't worry about that."
