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."

Tottenham are a very good side but I was still disappointed with Stoke's performance against them when they were beaten 4-0 at home on Monday night.
The Potters just did not turn up, which is very unlike them under Mark Hughes.
I was also a bit surprised that Manchester City did not play better in their draw with Newcastle on Tuesday - I was expecting Manuel Pellegrini's side to kick on after beating Chelsea at the weekend.
But I think they will beat Stoke at Etihad Stadium. They have to, really, because a top four place is still far from guaranteed.
As far as this season's Champions League goes, I think City have a chance in their semi-final against Real Madrid. Those two games could be any score, and I honestly do not fancy one team more than the other.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Joshua's prediction: 2-1

The problem with Man City is that you don't know which team is going to turn up. Will it be the one that won 3-0 at Chelsea or will it be the team that came off the pitch lucky to have earned a 1-1 draw with Newcastle? Stoke are on holiday and you cannot play football with flip-flops on! They've done their hard work, though, they're safe and you can understand that, particularly when a few players will be at the Euros. I suspect Sergio Aguero will be rested as City will have one eye on the Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, but I still expect them to win.
PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 5/1)
