Anthony Joshua has denied dating the estranged wife of Manchester City winger, Riyad Mahrez.
The British heavyweight champion, 30, sparked new relationship after he was reportedly spotted out and about with 26-year-old Rita, who has two children with Mahrez but is now separated from the footballer.
Reports in the Sun stated that Joshua had been ‘been spotted on nights out with Rita’, both in public and at the luxury pad of a mutual friend.
The 26-year-old model and singer is said to have been with Joshua at London’s Tape night club
Joshua is alleged to have first met Rita in London’s high-end Tape nightclub in December 2019, but ‘backed away’ from the situation after he found out that she was still married to the Manchester City winger.
A club-goer told The Sun in December: ‘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.’
The source added that he didn’t have a clue who she was but thought she was a pretty girl.
Addressing the reports, a spokesman for Joshua has vehemently denied the accusation.
‘Anthony doesn’t personally know Mrs. Mahrez and has no wish to, now or in future,’ AJ’s spokesman told the Sun.
