In a candid interview with BBC’s Louis Theroux, British boxing sensation Anthony Joshua opened up about his decision to continue living with his mother, Yeta Odusanya, in their two-bedroom ex-council flat. The 34-year-old, who moved back home in 2017 despite his immense success and earnings, explained that he values his family above all else and emphasized the cultural significance of supporting parents in their home.
“In our culture, we grew up in our own family home, we support our parents,” Joshua stated, defending his choice to remain with his mother. He went on to express his commitment to his family, suggesting that any potential partner would need to understand and respect his close relationship with his mother. Joshua firmly believes that when someone gets involved with him, they are embracing his entire family, not just him alone.
Despite his fame and success, Joshua prefers to keep his personal life private, citing the pressure that comes with public scrutiny. He revealed his reluctance to succumb to societal expectations and the pitfalls that accompany stardom. Reflecting on his past relationships, including his on-off involvement with former school friend Nicole Osbourne, Joshua emphasized the challenges of fame and the need to maintain a grounded perspective.
His decision to prioritize family bonds and maintain a humble lifestyle, even in the face of immense wealth and fame, showcases Joshua’s grounded nature and unwavering commitment to his roots. His story serves as a reminder that true success lies not only in accomplishments but also in staying true to one’s values and cherishing the relationships that matter most.
