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. The 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, born at Watford General Hospital, was a significant milestone for Joshua, who shared an adorable photo captioned: “Achieving one of my goals as a professional boxer! Now the dust has settled, time to relax with my little champion JJ.”

Balancing Family Life and Fame

Joshua has gone to great lengths to maintain privacy regarding his family life, reportedly purchasing a £500,000 flat in Finchley for his girlfriend Nicole, with whom he has had an on-and-off relationship. Despite the challenges of fame and personal life, Joshua remains committed to being an active and loving father.

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.

Resilience After Setbacks

The past few months have been tumultuous for Joshua, especially after being knocked out in the fifth round by Dubois at Wembley Stadium. Despite the setback, it’s heartening to see him enjoying quality time with his son during the festive period. His ability to find joy and solace in family life speaks volumes about his character and resilience.
