Joshua on why he stays with his mother
Speaking to the BBC He said, '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."
Because he can't live up to people's expectations of him, the level-headed boxing star—who isn't openly in a relationship—admits that he prefers to keep his personal life quiet.
Joshua previously had an inconsistent affair with Nicole Osbourne, his child's mother and a former school acquaintance, with whom he once purchased a £500,000 apartment close to his house.

Following his stunning victory against Jermaine Franklin in April, the heavyweight boxer flirtatiously referred to Laura Woods as his "dream date" in an interview with the broadcaster.
In an attempt to find his next big fight, Joshua attended the US Grand Prix last month.
