Renowned British-Nigerian professional boxer, Anthony Joshua, has revealed the reasons behind his decision to continue residing with his mother at the age of 34. In a recent interview with Louis Theroux, Joshua discussed his close-knit family and cultural values, explaining why it would be challenging for a prospective partner to convince him to move out.
The world heavyweight champion, who returned to his mother’s two-bedroom former council apartment after a significant £15 million victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2017, emphasized the importance of family in his culture. Joshua believes in supporting his parents and maintaining the tight bonds of the family unit.
In his interview, Joshua stated, “I still live with my mom. 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 mom by herself, for some girl? Family is the most important thing. When a girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she is marrying my family.”
