AJ then had a go on the dodgems

The iconic British garage group were performing at the Kool Kids Fest in Edgware.

And the crowd were left shocked as AJ joined the group to perform their hit ’21 Seconds’.

He hopped up stage and MC’d in style as he proved he is a natural performer.

Fans loved it, with one saying: “Smashing it as always.”

Another added: “Never disappoints.”

After the brilliant performance, Joshua and Maffia got into a dodgems car together.

They were on the receiving end of a huge bump from a fellow driver despite the former two-time world champion’s best efforts to steer them clear of danger.

Maffia wrote on social media: “He did try to save me.”

Joshua is a huge fan of the So Solid Crew and this is not the first time he has joined them on stage.

He nailed the rap of ’21 Seconds’ back in 2020 at the Garage Nation festival.

And he has also previously shown his musical talents, rapping along to Skepta and JME’s record ‘That’s Not Me’ at an event in Dubai four years ago.

Despite showing off his vocals, AJ remains focused on becoming world champion again.

He next faces Daniel Dubois at Wembley on Saturday 21 September.

With the winner set to face either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk with the chance to become undisputed champion of the world.
