Nicole Osbourne, who features in pole-dancing YouTube videos, gave birth to Anthony Joshua’s son in October 2015.

The boxer told the Sun he is no longer with the mother of his child, Joseph Bayley Temiloluwa Prince Joshua who is now 3 years old.

Instead, Mr Joshua was single and living at home with his mum.

The revelation came amid odd claims made by rival boxer Tuson Fury about his private parts.

The fellow heavyweight star said of Anthony: “I like the guy. He’s doing well, he’s got a good body.

“I bet he’s got a big c***. Probably, I wish I had it.”

Anthony said in response: “Fury has got a woman, I haven’t, so there’s no competition over our manhood.

“He should be settled down with his wife, not worrying about anyone else’s manhood.

“I like to separate things and focus on training and fighting. That’s what is important.

“Boxing people come out with some strange characters in the spur of the moment — he’s one of those characters.”

Despite all the recent drama, Anthony admitted he thinks he leads a “boring” life.

He added: “Boxing is a gutter sport. It’s not really glamorous.

“So yeah, there are no nice requests and stuff.”

In 2017, the boxer told the Evening Standard that he was focused on boxing rather than his career.

He told the Standard: “My time training means there is not much time for girlfriends.

“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.”

The undefeated boxer has been linked to Rita Ora, Cara Delevingne, Bella Hadid and Geordie Shore’s Chantelle Connelly.

But of all these women, his mother still appears to be the number one woman in his life.
