Anthony Joshua Denies Romance Claims

Boxer Anthony Joshua has denied reports that he is dating Chantelle Connelly.

On Thursday, Connelly reportedly told The Sun newspaper that she and Joshua had exchanged numbers after having met at a boxing event. However, she then said she was disappointed to discover that the 26-year-old had fathered a child with his on-off girlfriend Nicole Osbourne.

Connelly is quoted by the publication as saying: "We swapped numbers – well, he asked for my number... When I found out he had a baby I felt like he'd cheated on me."

However, Joshua has now hit out at the claims.

Friends of the boxer have told the MailOnline: "He literally has no idea who she is. He gets asked for pictures by fans all the time. Anthony doesn't watch TV, so he wasn't aware she is on Geordie Shore."

A representative also added: "Anthony is 100% not dating Chantelle Connelly from Geordie Shore."

Connelly herself has since taken to Twitter to address the reports – and argue that the rumours are untrue. She told her followers: "Let's jus say I've never said I dated @anthonyfjoshua or out else. Papers asked who was my celebrity crush n I said him! #howtheytwistthings (sic)."

She followed this with an expletive-filled tweet in which she advised people not to believe everything they read in the papers.
