When asked if he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and become a boxing champ, he revealed:
“No it’s too hard. It’s a dangerous sport. I want my son to be the best man that he can be, but I don’t want him to be compared to me. You’re not going to be a boxing star without going through heaps of pain.”
“Life is not a highlight reel. A career is not a highlight reel. People see the glamour, the winning. Nobody’s interested in the knocks and bruises, the bad eye, the struggle. My son has the bloodline for it, there’s no doubt about that…”
Who Is He Dating?
In 2017, AJ revealed that he spent his spare time boxing rather than investing in any relationships. Although he’s been linked with celebrities Rita Ora, Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid and Geordie Shore’s Chantelle Connelly, it appears that his mother is still the number one lady in his life.
Joshua has expressed his taste in women, admitting: “American women are nice.”
He also said that he’d been attracted to a model on Instagram, whom his friend sent him a photo of. But vowed that he would not private message anyone on the platform because he suspected his messages would not be seen.

He’s Doesn’t Seem Too Bothered About A Girlfriend
As well as this, he called Lori Harvey, an American model, who he thought was dating footballer Memphis Depay at the time, “beautiful”.
Joshua said: “First and foremost you’ve got to think of your family. If you can’t bring your family together, how can you bring a community together?
“I’ve got a big family, and without family who have you got?
“I’m not the type to have too many material things because I’m trying to supply my family with things.
“It’s connecting the family and making all the generations understand that no one problem is bigger than us.”
Joshua seemed adamant that his life wasn’t suited to be spent with a girlfriend:
“If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can’t foresee the future I’d rather they jump off the boat because I can’t stop for no one right now,” he told the Evening Standard in 2017.
“I was speaking to my coach, who worked with Carl Froch, who had a 12-year career. One day it does finish and now he has all the time in the world to think about business, family.
“Not everyone likes the decisions I make but I’ve got to make my own decisions. Decisions I make impact others. And my time training means there is not much time for girlfriends either.”
