Anthony Joshua is being billed as the future of the heavyweight division and while he's been less active on Snapchat since last year's victory of Dillian Whyte, we can only assume there's a bit of downtime as he gears up for an assault on the world title scene.

Once thought of as one of English football's brightest prospects, Nile Ranger became a Premier League bad boy a handful of years ago and has never really recovered.

Username: cannon_briggs

​Now in his mid forties, ex-heavyweight contender Shannon Briggs has made a second career out of gatecrashing fighters and begging for fights he'll never realistically get. Him chasing the likes of David Haye and Anthony Joshua is perfect YouTube fodder, but you can see it all first – as it happens – on Snapchat.
