Anthony Joshua, a British-Nigerian boxer, disclosed that, although being 34 years old, he still resides with his mother, Yeta Odusanya, and is not prepared to move out.
2017 saw Joshua return to his mother’s two-bedroom former council apartment following his estimated £15 million win against Wladimir Klitschko.
In an interview with Louis Theroux, the British boxer talked about his tight ties with his family and gave his prospective girlfriend a heads-up that it would be difficult to get him to move out.
I still live with my mum,’ the two-time world champion told the BBC. ‘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 girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she’s marrying my family”.
Joshua, who is not publicly in a relationship, admitted that he likes to keep his personal life private as he cannot live up to the expectations people have of him.
He continued: ‘Are we going to dissect everything I say and use it as a narrative to create a story? That’s why I keep myself to myself.
‘You put all this pressure on yourself to come and be this big star and be perfect.
‘I’m telling you, they’ll pull you down. The higher you are, the bigger the drop.’
Joshua was previously in an on-off relationship with the mother of his child, former school friend Nicole Osbourne.
