In his time in F1, Lewis Hamilton must have had various kinds of propositions. However, few would be as weird as Daniel Ricciardo’s strange request to the 7-time champion.

Lewis Hamilton is a known adrenaline junkie. The Briton has tried many adventure activities to keep his adrenaline needs satisfied. In 2015, he posted a video of him hitting pads. Daniel Ricciardo saw this as the perfect opportunity to ask Hamilton for a charity event if he’d be interested.

The former Red Bull driver, who is a huge UFC fanatic, said, “To be honest, I actually asked Lewis Hamilton. At the beginning of 2016, he posted a video on his Instagram hitting pads. I was as well at the time, so I was like ‘hey, let’s do a charity fight’.”

The Honey badger further continued, “I asked him in person. But he didn’t bite on that one, so I was a little sad. I might re-ask the question.”

However, the Mercedes driver wasn’t up for the challenge. Hamilton emphatically declined the proposition raised by the Honey badger.

Lewis Hamilton sent a heartfelt message to Anthony Joshua after his defeat earlier this year

Nobody knows more about losing a title in a controversial fashion than Lewis Hamilton. He was denied his record 8th world title after a questionable decision made by Michael Masi. Anthony Joshua faced a setback in August this year when he lost his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

Anthony Joshua failed in his bid to regain the WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight titles and reacted in poor fashion to the defeat. He took two of Usyk’s belts and threw them in a disrespectful manner. Lewis Hamilton then offered his wisdom to the British boxer.

“The hard work and sacrifice is something nobody will be able to understand. The challenges in mind and spirit are monumental,” Hamilton wrote on his Instagram story.

He further added, “I’m proud of you for all you put in, be proud of yourself. It’s not how we fall, it’s how we get up and you will bounce back from this brother. Keep your head up.”
