Barbados welcomes boxing champ

Barbados saw another influx of A-list celebrities celebrating the festive season, including boxing champion Anthony Joshua. The heavyweight champion was vacationing there with his friends and family after a stressful few months, which saw him lose his titles to Andy Ruiz Jr before reclaiming his belts again in Saudi Arabia.

Also Simon Cowell, model Cara Delevingne and Barbados-born Rihanna were in Barbados for Christmas. Joshua clearly had the need for speed as he was spotted whizzing around Barbados’ crystal blue waters on a jet ski. But not before he cautiously read a pamphlet which likely featured the health and safety rules to prevent any wannabe daredevils doing serious damage. Joshua freshened up and headed to a local restaurant where he couldn’t help but drop a freestyle rap for the 150th time in the past few weeks of his celebratory tour. Only this time, he had steel pans for his beat. “You thought I was done,” he told his Instagram followers in reference to his hobby as a freestyle rapper.
