    Martin Brundle was left feeling like a spare part as he waited to catch a word with Anthony Joshua during his US Grand Prix grid walk.<\/p>\n

    As usual in the US, the grid was littered with stars of sport, screen and music \u2013 and one of the first celebs he spoke to, eventually, was the former heavyweight champion of the world. Joshua was embroiled in a conversation with a pair of astronauts which went on a little too long for Brundle\u2019s liking.<\/p>\n

    Usually, the Sky Sports F1 expert isn\u2019t afraid to barge his way into a conversation. But he decided to wait his turn to speak to the towering Joshua, who recently invested in the Alpine team.<\/p>\n

    Brundle waited awkwardly for almost a minute and pondered ditching the boxing superstar for another VIP. \u201cI\u2019m not going to argue with him,\u201d he said at one point.<\/p>\n

    However, Brundle\u2019s patience was eventually rewarded as he secured a couple of minutes with the British Olympics hero, who discussed his involvement with Alpine, upcoming fights and the possibility of him ever getting into the ring with Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n

    \u201cF1 is F1, it's massive,\u201d said Joshua. \u201cHopefully, Alpine can have committed supporters, like myself. By the way, it\u2019s Alpine [pronounced Alpeene], not alpine. I\u2019m here to raise awareness for people who don\u2019t know enough about Alpine.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Brundle then asked AJ about his next fight before the end of the year. He said: \u201cWe\u2019re going to be active this year. I\u2019ve set my goals, three times [fights] this year. We\u2019ve still got two months of the year left and I\u2019m still going to potentially get a fight in. End this year on a high, god willing, then go into next year and kick some more behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    On the chances of ever facing Fury, Joshua told Brundle: \u201cLook, I\u2019ll be honest, for me personally, I\u2019m here for the fans and I know what they want. And my job is to deliver.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI will 100% do my end of the bargain. It\u2019s up to the other team to play ball. But one step at a time. December, I want to get out. April, I need to be victorious, then we can talk about the big fight in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
