ANTHONY JOSHUA left London Marathon runners stunned with a surprise appearance at the side of the track.
Joshua appeared to be unbothered by the ongoing speculation surrounding his fight against Tyson Fury.
The Brit, 32, took time out of negotiations to make a track side showing at the London Marathon to hand out drinks to the competitors.
He could be seen with a beaming smile as he handed drinks over to the participants as they went past.
At least 42,000 runners have been confirmed at the event, with a host of celebrity participants among them.
The former WBO, WBA, IBF and IBO belt holder is scheduled to fight WBC belt holder Fury in December.

However, Fury publicly declared the fight was off due to Joshua and his team not signing the fight contract on his Monday deadline.
Fury branded his compatriot a ‘coward’ is a stunning rant on social media.
However, negotiations remain ongoing over the December 3 bout.
Joshua lost the chance to become a unified heavyweight world champion in the Fury fight after failing to recapture his belts with back-to-back defeats to Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk.
