A woman has shared her surprise at the moment when Anthony Joshua casually walked past and spoke to her at the gym during her workout.

TikToker and powerlifter Chiz Egbuziem (@liftinwitchiz) who is a student at Loughborough University managed to capture the moment before her bench set at Loughborough University Powerbase gym.

“So this happened just before my bench set,” on the on-screen captions read as the former world heavyweight champion boxer can be seen walking through the shot.

As Joshua walked past, he spotted Chiz on the bench and could be heard saying to her: “Get them weights in girl” to which the starstruck student giggled in response to the boxer’s words of encouragement.
