Anthony Joshua in Self-Isolation After Meeting With
Prince Charles
World heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has placed
himself in self-isolation following a meeting with coronavirus victim Prince
Charles.
Charles, the eldest son and heir to Britain’s Queen
Elizabeth II, is showing mild symptoms of coronavirus and is self-isolating in
Scotland, officials said on Wednesday.
It remains unclear when Charles caught the illness but on
March 9, he spent the day with the Queen, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and
stars of sport and entertainment — including Joshua — at the Commonwealth Day
service at Westminster Abbey.
According to the spokesman for Joshua, “AJ is at home
following government guidelines, he is fit and well. He wishes everyone affected
a speedy recovery and a huge thank you to all the front line key workers.”
Joshua is due to defend his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight
titles against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur
Stadium on June 20.
But the coronavirus could delay that bout and push back a
hugely anticipated all-British fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury until next
year at the earliest.
In a series of Twitter posts on Tuesday, Joshua thanked all
those involved in trying to combat the coronavirus by saying: “It’s humbling to
see people giving their everything right now to keep us safe. Shout to everyone
on the front-line.
“We see you, we appreciate you, we thank you and we’re in
awe of you!”
