British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua has been awarded an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to sport by Prince Charles in an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
The 29-year-old currently holds the WBA, IBF and WBO titles after winning his March unification clash with Joseph Parker and was honoured for his services to sport back in June.
According to Daily Mail, Thursday’s ceremony marks the latest accolade Joshua has collected after he was also given an MBE in 2013 after claiming an Olympic gold at London2012.
Dressed in a black suit jacket and grey trousers, Joshua once again beamed with delight on his visit to the Palace as he accepted the honour from the Prince of Wales.
Joshua continues to enjoy some time away from boxing as he waits to see who will be the next to challenge him at Wembley.
Prince Charles also awarded Joshua his MBE back in 2013.
An OBE is a Queen’s honour given to an individual for a major local role in any activity such as business, charity or the public sector.
