Why Joshua still lives with his mother

Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Joshua gave a candid interview, as he opened up on why he still lives with his mother.

"I still live with my mum. I realised that when I started training - which I do away from home a lot - that if I'm away for 10 months of the year and then when I get back I've got to do commercial work I realise that if I was to move out I'd never actually see my mum," he said.

"My actual base is at home with mum. So I can still wake up and see her and spend time with her when I can," he added.
