Lineker Shares Cramped Wimbledon Experience With Joshua

News summary

Gary Lineker recounted an amusing but physically uncomfortable experience sitting next to heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, where they watched high-profile matches including Emma Raducanu vs Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz’s victory. Joshua’s large frame and wide-legged seating left Lineker cramped for nearly seven hours, resulting in painful leg cramps. Despite the discomfort, Lineker described Joshua as a 'lovely guy' and enjoyed the company of Joshua, promoter Eddie Hearn, and his son Angus. On his podcast, The Rest Is Football, Lineker admitted he never asked Joshua to move, finding humor in the ordeal with his co-hosts. The story has attracted attention for its mix of sporting camaraderie and relatable awkwardness at a major event. The incident underscores the challenges of sharing limited space with a towering athlete during a long day at Wimbledon.
