The internet often seems like a sickening cesspit of darkness and despair - and sometimes its the saviour of humanity via comedy gold.
In the hotly-anticipated World Heavyweight Champion boxing final, British Anthony Joshua triumphed over Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko with a spectacular 11th-round smackdown.
Joshua vs. Klitschko had all the makings of a legendary tale, but one photo has stolen the show.
This is not a drill. I repeat...not a drill. Jay Z is at the #JoshuaKlitchsko fight and he's sitting next to one… https://t.co/geT5irro6K— Daragh Keany (@Daragh Keany) 1493500823
This picture was supposedly of rapper superstar Jay Z watching the fight with Barry Elliot, A.K.A. Barry Chuckle, one half of Rotherham's greatest export, the Chuckle Brothers.
A.K.A. Ant and Dec before Ant and Dec.
Twitter predictably blew up, as users were captivating by this unlikely yet awesome friendship.
Literally the best photo I've ever seen - Chuckle B and Jay Z at #JoshuaKlitchsko 😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/191obwBwyy— Jonno Turner (@Jonno Turner) 1493503122

Alas, we knew it was too good to be true
It turns out that some prankster had photoshopped Chuckle's head onto boxer Andre Ward, who was actually sat next to Jay Z.
But in 2015, for the Throne Boxing Fight Night in New York.
