Anthony Joshua's gesture to sparring partner after family were in car crash

Anthony Joshua showed his class by paying for one of his sparring partners to fly home to Croatia after his family were involved in a car accident.

Joshua, who rematches Oleksandr Usyk this Saturday in Saudi Arabia, relied upon Croatian heavyweight Marko Milun as one of the main sparring partners to prepare for Usyk. Milun was unfortunately not able to see out the whole training camp with Joshua as he flew home due to his family being involved in the accident.

Milun, who also helped Joshua prepare for his first fight with Usyk, revealed the Brit and his team immediately booked him a flight back to Croatia on the same day as his family's accident. "My family had a car accident and they booked my flight immediately for three hours back to Croatia. They are very friendly and they helped me with everything," Milun told BoyleSports.
