The Rock and Kevin Hart give Anthony Joshua sparring tips ahead of Breazeale fight

Who do think would win in a fight between the two?

Everything is improved by approximately 30.78% when you add The Rock. This is science*.

So with Anthony Joshua fine tuning a few things ahead of his heavyweight title bout against Dominic Breazeale, who better to call on than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson?

The IBF heavyweight champion teased of his gigantic encounter with The Rock and comedian Kevin Hart two weeks ago as the film stars travelled the United Kingdom to promote new comedy action film Central Intelligence.

Now a new video of their short sparring session has emerged as the trio traded tips on Anthony’s tactics going into the fight.

With The Rock acting as an able sparring partner (it takes a special person to make the 6ft 6in, 19 stone, 4,500 calorie-eating-a-day Anthony Joshua look anything close to normal sized, but of course The Rock is nothing but a special person), and Kevin Hart firing off verbal jabs, expect Joshua to be in better form than ever before when he comes out to fight American Breazeale at the 02 on Saturday 25th.

Just try not to take Hart’s advice about stamping on feet too seriously Anthony. We’re all rooting for you to retain your title this weekend.

*In no way is this science, but as The Fast & Furious and G.I JOE franchises can attest to, having The Rock about can be really useful.
