While Anthony Joshua was busy winning the IBF heavyweight championship in defeating Charles Martin inside two rounds, former opponents David Haye and Audley Harrison were busy rebuilding their friendship at ringside.

The pair appeared as part of Sky Sports’ TV broadcast to analyse the fight, and it is no secret that the two have remained good friends since their heavyweight title contest in November 2010 when Haye retained his WBA crown with a third-round knockout.

With both in good spirits, they offered their insight from within the ring to pick apart Joshua’s impressive performance – in which he knocked Martin down twice before the American failed to beat the referee’s count – while Haye also used the opportunity to talk up his own chances of beating the newly-crowned champion.

However, it was Harrison who provided the most memorable moment of the night which came right at the end of the broadcast.

Alongside fellow ex-professionals in Carl Froch, Johnny Nelson and Haye, Harrison looked on as presenter Ed Robinson signed off with a pretty average joke, anointing Joshua the new king after “beating a prince” in reference to Martin’s ring name.

Turning to the camera, you could see Harrison struggle to keep in his delight at the joke, and before the broadcast cut off air the Olympic gold medallist burst into laughter and muttered “prince” to himself in appreciation of Chamberlain’s joke.

While Harrison has hung up his gloves for good, Haye is already preparing for his next fight against Arnold Gjergjaj on 21 May ahead of an expected bout with Shannon Briggs in September. Should Haye come through both fights unscathed and Joshua remain champion for the rest of the year, the pair could meet in early 2017.
