BOXER Anthony Joshua caused a stir when he wore a wedding band.
Joshua shared a photo of himself at the O2 in London on Saturday with his 13.5 million Instagram followers.
Fans spotted AJ's ring finger with a band.
Fans with eagle eyes were quick to notice that AJ was wearing a band on one of his ring fingers, a fact previously associated to Rita Ora or Bella Hadid.
One wrote, "Wait! Is that a ring? Please don't break mine heart.
Another shared a photo of a broken heart and wrote: "Do you see a wedding ring?"
Another wrote: "Congratulations Champ on your marriage."

The 32-year-old former heavyweight champion denied any wedding rumors and stated that he didn't even have a girlfriend.
A source close to the fighter said that the ring he was wearing was actually a smart fitness tracker, not a symbol for marriage.
It is actually a PS300Oura Ring, a hi-tech device that helps athletes track their heart rate during exercise, monitor skin temperature, and track sleep patterns.
According to a source, Joshua has a son with Nicole Osbourne and the tracker helps him train. It fits best on his wedding finger.

Joshua, 32, stood beside UFC President Dana White and Eddie Hearn, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, and fellow fighters Derek Chisora, and Frazer Clarke in this photo. The caption read: "We Live and Breathe the Fight Game."
Fans are eager to find out when Joshua will be returning to boxing.
Due to Russia's invasion in Ukraine, the former champ is currently in limbo. His rematch against Oleksandr Usyk is in jeopardy.
The ununified heavyweight king Usyk currently defends his homeland against Vladimir Putin's invasion.
Hearn, however, is optimistic that the fight will take place in June.
Hearn answered a question from a fan during an Instagram Live video. Hearn said that AJ would fight Usyk again, or that he would take an interim fight.
He asked: "Is AJ vs Usyk happening right now?" It will, I believe. It will be in June, I believe.
Joshua teased an announcement about his next fight last week, tweeting: "Announcement soon."
