Anthony Joshua has gotten a new tattoo ahead of his December rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. 

The 29-year-old British-Nigerian boxer visited a local tattoo shop in Southgate, London in July, where he got a lion and a forest tattooed onto his middle finger to cover up calluses.

He came in the middle of July, we had a quick consultation, he lives not far from Southgate,’ shop owner Victor Tsyhanou told The Sun. 

‘We booked him in for the following week – it’s the first time a big name like Anthony has come to the studio.

‘Obviously, there was a lot of attention from locals so we booked him in later in the evening, closed the studio and did him a private session.

‘Because he does boxing, he had some pigmentation on his fists, so he gave us ideas of what he wanted to do.
