British- Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has revealed that he still lives in the flat of his mother, Yeta Odusanya.
The 34-year-old Pugilist, who added that he is not ready to move out, moved into his mother’s two-bedroom ex-council flat in 2017 after earning an estimated £15million from defeating Wladimir Klitschko.
Revealing this with Louis Theroux on BBC, the British Boxer said it would be hard for his future partner to convince him of moving out from the flat.
“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 girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she’s marrying my family.” He said
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.
“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.”
