Anthony Joshua has found an unlikely new ‘sparring partner’ in Billie Faiers’ son Arthur, and it might be the most confusing yet adorable friendship ever.

The boxing champ is currently enjoying his summer holiday in Marbella, Spain with family, taking a break from training for his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in December.

But it also happens to be where former Towie star Billie has chosen to catch some sun with her husband, Gregory Shepherd, and their two-year-old son Arthur.

Somehow, the universe conspired to bring the two celebrities together resulting in Anthony bumping into Billie and little Arthur on Tuesday.

In a photo shared on Billie’s Instagram, Anthony is seen happily holding Arthur in his arms beside the pool at what appears to be their luxury resort.

‘Chops and his new sparring partner,’ Billie cheekily captioned the image.

Maybe Arthur will be Anthony’s good luck charm when he faces off with Ruiz in the ring again before Christmas.

Amazed at the unlikely meeting, one of Billie’s followers said: ‘WHAT KIND OF LUCK DOES ARTHUR FAIERS HAVE?????’

Clearly an admirer of the buff boxer, another follower admitted: ‘I’m so jealous of Arthur right now,’ while another agreed: ‘What Id do to be that child.’

Apparently just as much a fan of the tot as she is the boxing star, one said: ‘MY TWO FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN ONE PHOTO THERE IS A GOD.’

However, another fan shared everyone else’s confusion at the meeting, stating: ‘I have so many questions…’

Billie, 29, and Greg, 34, seem to be having the time of their lives on holiday, spending quality time with Arthur and their five-year-old daughter Nelly.

Alongside a stunning family snap at the resort, Billie said: ‘Together is my favourite place to be… (ps. Nelly insisted on wearing my shell clip on earrings).’

Maybe the family will get ringside seats to Anthony’s big fight?
