The world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua today opens up about life in lockdown with his family including becoming “super dad” to his four-year-old son, JJ and also his present status. He’s one of the globe’s biggest sporting stars, with a raft of titles and a legion of adoring fans but true love is proving tougher to conquer for Anthony Joshua.
In a world exclusive interview, the 30-year-old fighter also discusses his determination to knock out boxing rival Tyson Fury, his flirtatious quip to The Queen and how sport can help reunite Britain after the Covid-19 crisis. However, despite all of his accolades, Anthony admits there is one prize which remains as elusive as ever – finding love.
AJ says: “I think you can date and still be a successful sportsman but it’s hard to find a balance and I would have to compromise — which I’ve not felt able to do. “My dad never gave me advice about much. But in terms of relationships what I have learnt and what I tell my son is, it would be nice to find a high school sweetheart and to grow together because as you get older you get set in your ways.
“For me to have a relationship now means I would have to compromise and change my ways and I don’t know how easy that would be for me to do. “So I do date but I don’t get to the stage where I actually put anyone into that position. Quote “I don’t have a girlfriend and I haven’t had one for a while.
But as I get older I do think it would be nice to have someone, someone to grow with as well — but I honestly haven’t found anyone.”
