Anthony Joshua has gained many fans during his destructive rise through the British heavyweight ranks, and some of the stars of the sporting world turned out on Saturday.

The 25-year-old notched up his 14th straight victory and the Commonwealth title with a 97-second dismantling of the previously unbeaten Gary Cornish.

And among the crowd at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night were Arsenal stars Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers.
