Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua was reportedly spotted in a club flirting with Manchester’s City player Riyad Mahrez’s wife, Rita.

According to a report by The Sun UK, the singer and model was seen with her hand on the world heavyweight champ’s knee at London club Tape on Friday.

The Sun also reports that Rita and the Algeria skipper, 28 — dad to her two kids — have agreed on a trial split, and are living 200 miles apart.

A clubgoer said:

“Rita bumped into AJ on her way out and he invited her to join him at his table in VIP.

“Rita, who was with a female pal, clearly thought AJ was incredibly hot. They then spent much of the evening laughing and flirting.

“He didn’t have a clue who she was. He simply thought she was a pretty girl and enjoyed their chat.

“But when the club owner pointed out she was Riyad’s wife, AJ got a bit awkward, and totally backed away.

“He explained he didn’t want to step on any toes or cause a scene, and that he’d be stupid to be seen doing anything in public. They left with friends at 3 am, but got into separate cars.”

AJ, 30, is the second boxer Rita has been linked to recently. It was revealed that American WBC champ Deontay Wilder flirted with Rita at Manchester’s Club Liv in August.
