After the game the The British WBO, IBF and WBA title holder was invited to meet the players backstage.

The trip comes amid talks between Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn and American boxer Deontay Wilder.

Hearn told the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday that a decision on the staging of the Wilder fight will be made in the next three weeks, although a UK showdown is preferred.

Wilder, who holds the WBC title, in April made the unusual move of emailing Joshua directly to insist his backers had the money - worth £35.9million - for a bout which could take place later this year.

However Hearn said his client was prepared to take a pay cut of more than £7million to fight in front of a home crowd.
