The laughing and smiling heavyweight champion gave the fans the middle finger as he made his way inside Opium Beach Club
On his way into Opium Beach Club rival fans started singing ‘There’s only one Tyson Fury’ at the Watford superstar.
After posing for selfies with fans Joshua laughed at the chant and offered a light-hearted middle finger in response.
He then made his way inside the club with his pals.
AJ is heading for a showdown with rival Fury in 2021 – but first both have dangerous fights they must get through.
Joshua will face Pulev, his IBF mandatory challenger, with the Gypsy King taking on Deontay Wilder for a third time in December.
Both Joshua and Fury have to win to meet each other for what will be one of the biggest fights ever.
Some belts may have been stripped by then, with Oleksandar Usyk the mandatory challenger for the WBO strap and Dillian Whyte waiting for his chance at the WBC belt.
Although money has been agreed, with the superstar pair agreeing a 50/50 split, there are still many hurdles to get through before the fight is made.
Meanwhile, Joshua has called on the world’s elite athletes to form a “union” and use their platform in the fight against racism.
The world heavyweight champ is admired and respected for his charity and community work across the country, as well backing Black Lives Matter.

Speaking to The Sun’s Time For Change Debate, AJ said last week: “Athletes have the biggest platform, so we all judge on that.
“I think an individual trying to make a change is a lot more difficult than a union of people trying.
“And I think the images that we need to represent are important.
“The same way I rally for Under Armour, the same way I rally for Range Rover is the same way I should rally for the African Carribean community.”
