Anthony Joshua went the distance against Joseph Parker on Saturday night and managed to overcome him to pick up his fourth heavyweight title.

It was the British boxer's third fight in a stadium in the last 11 months and spoke for his increasing domination of the heavyweight division. But achieving his goals without a strong team behind him would be impossible.

Some of the figures within the team have slightly quirkier histories. Kevin Ayodele is a non-League footballer and played for the likes of Aylesbury United, Tooting & Mitcham and Northwood. Leon Skinner was an actor and was in the 2006 drama Notes on a Scandal which also featured Cate Blanchett and Dame Judi Dench.

Iwan Llewelyn is Joshua's social media manager and also lists Antoine Griezmann among his clients. Andy Bell is a publicist for elite sporting talent, while Freddie Cunningham is the manager of AJ Boxing and speaks to Joshua at least four or five times a day.

Ben Ileyemi provides security but was a professional boxer prior to that, last fighting in 2013. James Mulley has known Joshua since he was 15-years-old. The Hampton & Richmond Borough winger has previously said Joshua could have made it as a footballer too.
