While Anthony Joshua is hopeful of becoming the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year for the first time, the heavyweight champion spent some time with a multi-award winner in former Arsenal star Thierry Henry.
Joshua was announced as part of the 12 British athletes shortlisted for the awards – with the winner to be named on December 17 at Liverpool's Echo Arena – along with the likes of Lewis Hamilton,Harry Kane, Sir Mo Farah and Johanna Konta.
The 28-year-old is the leading favourite for the award at the end of a season that saw him add the IBO World Heavyweight – and WBA Super Heavyweight - titles to his IBF belt with a glorious victory over Wladimir Klitschko in April.
And as Joshua looks ahead to more potential glory, the Brit took some time away from the ring to hang out with two-time Premier League winner Henry - before offering the Frenchman a friendly Christmas invitation.
'Good to see you @thierryhenry P.S. There's a seat for you at the Christmas table,' Joshua wrote on Instagram.
