I hope my son will not follow my footsteps – Anthony Joshua

World champion, Anthony Joshua has  admitted he hopes his son will not follow in his footsteps and enter the ring.

Asked if he would want 19-month-old Joseph to become a professional boxer, the world heavyweight champ replied, “I swear I wouldn’t want him to be.

“This ain’t a job, it’s crazy. Do you know the amount of pain that we go through? I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

“You shouldn’t look at it as a career straight away because it’s very, very, hard. So with him, I’d say, ‘Set off on your own path whether it is ­business, studying, sports… but I want him to be better than me in anything he does.”
