Lawro's Premier League and FA Cup predictions v world heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua

Watford fan Joshua's Focus predictions

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Lawro's opponents for this weekend Premier League fixtures and FA Cup semi-finals is world heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua.

Joshua, who beat Charles Martin to take the IBF title earlier this month, supports his hometown team Watford, and recently trained with Hornets striker Troy Deeney.

"I've known Troy for a while, we linked up in a barber shop," Joshua told BBC Sport. "From there, I saw he was training with a coach in Birmingham.

"I liked the way his training was different to what I was used to so I linked up with him too. We were training together, footballer and boxer, and we had a great coach.

"Did Troy keep up with me? Definitely. He is a beast, he knows how to handle himself in the gym."

The 26-year-old will not be at Wembley for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final, but has a message for Deeney and his Hornets' team-mates.

"I will be supporting you from a distance," Joshua said. "Good luck to everyone at Watford, you have come this far and the hard work is done. Enjoy it and get the job done."

Joshua, who admits he chooses Real Madrid ahead of Watford when he plays on Fifa, met former Real and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after the Martin fight.

"Yes, he is a special one," he added. "Cool, calm and collected - the triple c's."
