According to him, much of his time is taken up by training and his dedication to boxing, but he was quick to note that a sportsman can still date and be successful but it is hard to find a balance.
Joshua said: "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.
"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.”
Despite being a global superstar, 30-year-old Joshua still shares a council flat with his mother, as well as owning a modest two-bed flat in Sheffield where he stays when training for his fights.
