British- Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has revealed that he still lives with his mother, Yeta Odusanya, at the age of 34, and is not ready to move out.
Joshua moved back into his mother’s two-bedroom flat in 2017 after earning an estimated £15million from defeating Vladimir Klitschko.
The British boxer talked about his close relationship with his family and warned his future partner they’ll struggle to convince 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.
Joshua was previously in an on-off relationship with the mother of his child, former school friend Nicole Osbourne
The Nigerian born British boxer was dethroned by Ukrainian boxer Oleksandre Usyk as the WBA, WBO and IBF Heavy weight champion of the world
