British boxer, Anthony Joshua says it would not be a “wise decision” for his son to follow in his footsteps and become a professional boxer.
The two-time former unified world heavyweight champion told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs he would much prefer if his son, Joseph Joshua, known as JJ, became an accountant instead, though he added that he wanted him to carve out his own future.
He has previously said he did not envisage a boxing life for his “little JJ”, wanting his son to be the “best man that he can be” instead.
Speaking to Desert Island Discs, Joshua revealed that his views about his son’s future had not changed. He said he would tell JJ to “do the best you can do”, when advising him about what he wanted to be when he was older.
