Joshua’s relationship with his son has often been kept under wraps, but he shocked his Twitter followers in April 2016 when he announced the arrival of his son, Joseph.

Balancing Family Life and Fame

While the boxer has garnered attention for his relationships, including links to singer Rita Ora and model Cara Delevingne, he still resides with his mother in an old council flat in north London. This connection to his roots reflects Joshua’s grounded nature, despite his status as an international sports star.
