ANTHONY JOSHUA had fans in stitches at his hilarious reaction to finding out a woman he was talking to during an Instagram Live Q&A session was an aspiring detective.
Just days before his surprise defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in New York last June, the unified heavyweight champion was given a shock on social media.

The British star was quizzing his legions of fans on the biggest adversities they’d faced in their lives when one woman sent him to the canvas with her answer.
She had initially said: “My biggest adversity probably has to be overcoming people doubting me.”
But AJ fired back: “In what sense?”
It was at this point that the fan started by explaining: “Well my biggest aspiration is to become a detective so–”
Yet Joshua instantly popped back into shot holding his hands up saying: “Hold up, you a fed?”
A hilarious exchange ensued in which the future policewoman attempted to finish her story while the Watford-born boxer cracked up into fits of laughter.
Unfortunately for AJ, his defeat by Mexican-American Ruiz Jr later that week was no laughing matter.
OUTSIDE THE BOX
However, the 30-year-old has since bounced back in style to win the Saudi Arabia rematch and reclaim his heavyweight titles in December.
But David Haye claimed Joshua must blow away Kubrat Pulev to keep up with the runaway Tyson Fury hype train.
The Gypsy King’s incredible demolition of Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas last month landed him the WBC crown.
Retired two-weight king Haye says AJ needs to ditch the stick-and-move tactics that earned him a points rematch win over Ruiz Jr to match his British rival punch for punch.
Looking ahead to the June 20 showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Hayemaker, 39, said: “I don’t think AJ needs to box like that against Pulev.
“He can box how he usually boxes — dynamic and explosive.
“He can go out there and use his physicality, his punch power, his angles.
“Yes, he can outbox him, but I don’t think the world wants that. The world wants to see the world heavyweight champion do what Fury did.
“If Fury can do that to Wilder, Joshua should do something similar to Pulev.”
