During his tour ‘AJ' took in the breath-taking views of London on the high-rise ‘Dare Skywalk', walking the roof and visiting the iconic Golden Cockerel before making his way down to take his first steps on the pitch where he met former player and club legend Ledley King.

Joshua last fought on Dec. 12, 2020.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not only the largest football club stadium in London, it is a multi-purpose venue, capable of hosting a range of events, 365 days a year – helping pump circa £300m into the local economy each year. The stadium will host two back-to-back NFL London Games in October this year, with rugby and concerts scheduled for 2022, alongside Tottenham Hotspur football matches.

Watch Matchroom's exclusive behind the scenes footage from Joshua's first visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the Matchroom Boxing YouTube channel.

An announcement on tickets will be made in due course.
