That’s as a result of regardless of now being 34, Joshua continues to be residing together with his mum in his previous household house and has no intention of transferring out any time quickly.

Joshua gave an perception into his non-public life throughout an interview with Louis Theroux that coated his shut relationship together with his household and, specifically, his mom Yeta Odusanya.
Joshua informed the revered BBC interviewer: “I still live with my mum. In our culture, we grew up in our own family home, we support our parents. Why am I going to move out and leave my mum by herself, for some girl? Family is the most important thing.
“When a lady will get with me, she ain’t simply marrying me, she’s marrying my household.”
The two-time world champion had previously been in an on-off relationship with childhood school friend Nicole Osbourne, the mother of his child, who he bought a £500,000 flat close to his family home.

Telling Woods more about his relationship situation, Joshua added: “With boxing I did not need to commit as a result of I did not need to go coaching after which I’m busy arguing with my Mrs or one thing and my head’s not within the recreation.
“So I just decided to keep my head where it needs to be. I’ve seen good relationships and bad ones.”
