Nigerian-British boxer Anthony Joshua has said his career is far more important to him than any romantic relationship.
The World Heavyweight Champion also disclosed that he would not be settling down until the next decade.
He said his training leaves him no time for girlfriends but if anyone foresees a future with him after 10 to 12 years, they can hang around, if not, “they can jump off the boat.”
“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.
“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,” he told the Evening Standard.
