      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been stopping some of the hardest-hitting heavyweights on the planet for the best part of a decade.But now, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion is stopping London buses.Anthony Joshua stunned passengers on the No.32 bus to Kilburn Park StationCredit: INSTAGRAM@ANTHONYJOSHUAPassengers couldn’t quite believe their eyes when the former heavyweight champ boarded the busCredit: INSTAGRAM@ANTHONYJOSHUAAJ was all smiles after taking photos with fansCredit: INSTAGRAM@ANTHONYJOSHUAThe Watford warrior, who has been on the sidelines since last September, recently stopped the number 32 bus while it was on its way to Kilburn Park Station.And the golden boy of British boxing sent passengers into a frenzy by boarding the bus.They couldn’t quite believe their eyes as the Olympic gold medallist hopped on board.Scores of the travellers got up from their seats to take photos with the 35-year-old, who was all too happy to make their day.READ MORE ON AJBefore taking a photo with one of the passengers, he said: “Nice to meet you. How are you?”AJ shared footage of the wholesome moment on his Instagram story for his 16.7million followers to see.Prior to uploading the clips, he posted a selfie with the accompanying caption: “Back on top soon.”Fan favourite Joshua hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his crushing fifth-round KO defeat to Daniel Dubois last September.Most read in BoxingJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSA long-overdue domestic dust-up with Tyson Fury was seemingly on the cards following his fellow Brit’s back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.But Fury seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the Battle of Britain in January by announcing his fifth retirement from boxing.Eddie Hearn provides update on Anthony Joshua’s injury and Tyson Fury fightBut AJ isn’t giving up hope of sharing the ring with the Gypsy King, telling iFL TV: “I feel like it’s the best fight [for me].”People might say [Joseph] Parker, people might say – I don’t know.”But I think Fury, commercially, is a great fight and it’s a great man’s fight as well. So I think it makes sense.”You could say it’s been years in the making. “But listen, the heavyweight division has been thriving.”And why I say it’s probably still a great fight is as I said Parker is, for me, a great story of someone that never gives up.”And the thing is, there is going to be one winner and one loser. “And there’s going to be bloodshed. And it ain’t gonna be mine.”Anthony Joshua recently gave a cryptic update on his boxing futureCredit: INSTAGRAM@ANTHONYJOSHUA More

      Neal Maupay hits back at Everton fans who hurled X-rated abuse at own players at train station after Tottenham loss

      by

      NEAL MAUPAY has bit back at Everton fans who blasted the team as they walked past supporters following their 4-0 battering against Tottenham.Everton were humiliated in north London as goals from Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero and a brace from Son Heung-Min compounded a tough day at the office for the Toffees.Neal Maupay has hit back at Everton fan criticismCredit: GettyA video on social media showed angry fans hurling X-rated abuse at Everton players as they walked past them at London EustonCredit: RexBut following the defeat, Sean Dyche’s side were seen walking past fans at London’s Euston train station as they made their way home.A video captured by one fan and posted to social media showed furious Evertonians hurling X-rated abuse at the squad.One fan can be heard shouting: “F*** off, you f***ing rat. F***ing 80 grand a week? You F***ing w****r.”Many squad members went past with their heads down, though Jordan Pickford and Mason Holgate did attempt to appease the fans by briefly speaking to some of them.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLTaking to social media later on, Maupay – who is back at Everton after spending last season on loan at Brentford – responded in a critical tone on X. Quoting the original video, he said: “Imagine another job where it’s normalised to get abuse like this. “Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best…”The 28-year-old Frenchman is yet to feature off the bench this season.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSEverton’s defeat at Spurs came after a home defeat to Brighton on the opening day, which has left them at the bottom of the table on a goal difference of minus seven.Indeed, the situation is so bad that bookmakers Paddy Power are already paying out on bets for Everton to be relegated.Premier League sides deducted points and others at riskDyche, 53, risked fan wrath ahead of the Spurs game when he said: “We have spoken about this before many times… hero, zero, zero, hero. “This is quite an extreme place. It is either, ‘Yes we’re amazing, we won’ or ‘rubbish, you’re all rubbish again.’ That kind of psychology en masse.”Everton have the chance to finally get a win on the board in midweek when they face Doncaster in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before hosting Bournemouth next Saturday.They are in the midst of an injury crisis, however, with only 14 first-team players available during their recent match against Spurs.Among the absentees were Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner, Seamus Coleman and Youssef Chermiti among those in the treatment room.Dyche has suggested that both Coleman and Garner could make their comebacks as early as Tuesday, but warned they will have to “wait and see” how they do in training.Premier League sides deducted points and others at riskNottingham ForestDeducted four points during the 2023-24 season for breaching Premier League spending limit by £34.563m. Failed in their appeal with decision upheld.EvertonInitial 10-point deduction for 2021-22 Premier League breaches reduced to six points on appeal.

Appealed, but since withdrawn following Prem survival.Sheffield UnitedHit with a two-point deduction for their finances during the 2022-23 EFL season. Will begin the 2024-25 Championship season on -2 points following their relegation from the Prem.OTHERS WHO COULD FACE PUNISHMENT…Manchester CityEtihad club emphatically denies the 115 allegations laid against them in February 2023. The lengthy Commission case has been scheduled to start in October or November but a final decision is not expected until March or April 2025.ChelseaBlues chiefs flagged up illicit payments made to agents and others during the Roman Abramovich era. Fined £8.6m by Uefa but still to be formally charged by the Prem despite an ongoing investigation.LeicesterFoxes breached Prem PSR loss limits last season but did not have to report their 2022-23 accounts until this month because of their relegation. That puts the timetable back and means that they will probably face a Prem points deduction for the 2024-25 season following their return to the top flight.Everton (again)The Toffees are again at risk of breaking PSR rules and are in a race against time to raise funds and balance the books. Not only could that lead to another charge but also administration. That would lead to an automatic nine-point deduction for the 2024/25 season. More
