Anthony Joshua was 'honored' by a 40ft mural that was unveiled in Tottenham, just a stone's throw away from the Usyk fight stadium

ANTHONY JOHUA admitted that he was 'honoured' by a huge mural of him painted near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

At the Spurs, the Brit will defend his WBA and WBO heavyweight titles against King Oleksandr Usyk, an undisputed cruiserweight.

The impressive artist Akse p19 has created a masterpiece in advance of the mouthwatering clash.

It also includes AJ's famous moniker Be Humble'.

Graffiti artist from France, Marcus Rashford has created stunning graffiti depictions of Captain Sir Thomas Moore and George Floyd.

Joshua watched the video created in association with JD Sports about the creation and was left stunned.

Joshua stated that he had seen the work of Akse with Captain Tom, George Floyd, and Rashford as well as Leeds United's Kalvin Philips and Ian Curtis.

"So, to be amongst such great people is an honor and I'm happy he chose to have me be a part this great history that's being created.

"I don't claim to be an icon. But the fact that he paints people doing great things makes me feel humbled.

"The fight in the painting also dates back to when I was two-time heavyweight champion, so it feels like it has a pivotal past."

Joshua, 31 years old, is determined not to lose against Usyk. Fight fans pray that he will eventually fight Tyson Fury, a Brit.

When he faces Deontay Wilder in his Trilogy match on October 9, the Gypsy King will have to be careful not to get his banana skin.

After their first encounter, Fury battered the American in February 2013.
