Anthony Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, has revealed why he still lives with his mother, even though he is worth millions of dollars.
Recall that the star still lives with his mother at the age of 34.
The celebrity is supposedly worth £150 million after earning £10 million in his fight with Otto Wallin in December 2023, which resulted in a knockout victory for the Nigerian-born boxer.
Joshua is presently preparing to face cross-over heavyweight fighter Francis Ngannou on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. If AJ wins the fight, he will walk away with almost £40 million.
Despite his lucrative boxing career, the 34-year-old former two-time heavyweight world champion prefers to live with his Nigerian mother.
Anthony Joshua said in an interview with Good Morning Britain that he likes to stay with his mother whenever he is in England since he travels frequently and does not want to miss any opportunity to spend time with his mother while he is available.
“I still live with my mum. I realized that when I started training – which I do away from home a lot – that if I’m away for 10 months of the year and then when I get back I’ve got to do commercial work I realize that if I was to move out I’d never actually see my mum,” AJ said.“I’m away in various parts of the world for a lot of the time, but my actual base is at home with mum. So I can still wake up, see her, and spend time with her when I can.”
“Sometimes she doesn’t show up, she stays behind, and she prays a lot. She says she can’t really watch her son because she doesn’t enjoy it. It’s tough for her, of course, but she enjoys the fruits of her labour. I take care of my mum a lot, I love her dearly.”
Meanwhile, veteran Nigerian actress, Kate Henshaw, has confirmed the sad death of her mother.
She took to the X platform to announce her mother’s passing on Monday.
Henshaw stated that she died on March 1, 2024.
She encouraged supporters to pray for her family at “this difficult time.”
She wrote:
“Dear friends and fans,“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear mother on March 1st 2024“Your prayers mean the world to me during this difficult time.“Please keep my family in your thoughts.“Rest in peace mummy.”
