The World Heavyweight Champion was one of 541 participants who competed in the epic fitness challenge in London on Monday (9 April).

The class was led by instructor Andy Wake, who took a huge group of men and women through 10 rounds of practice.

Boxercise ™ is a class that incorporates elements of boxing training - using pads and gloves - but no real sparring.

The final section of the lesson was done to the sound of Queen's Rock We Will Rock You '- an ideal song choice to inspire participants to push through the end of the 30-minute class.

Once it was over, official Guinness World Records advocate Pravil Patel provided Anthony Joshua with a certificate - another award to add to his collection of boxing belts and medals.

The event was organized by Lusozade to promote his new drink Fitwater, as well as encourage more people to be active.

IBF, WBA and IBO title holder, Anthony Joshua, said: "It's really exciting to be part of establishing a new Guinness World Records title with Fitwater. To have more than 500 people participate in something that I'm amazing , is amazing." Hopefully our world record success inspires more people to move on and join BoxSize. "

This is not the first time a professional boxer has participated in the Guinness World Record effort. In 2015, former champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (USA) helped 791 people achieve the biggest boxing lesson at an event organized by the Boxing Academy in Moscow, Russia (a record that has since been raised to 3,000).
