- Anthony Joshua has been blasted on social media following his comments against his niece
- Joshua stated clearly that he is very strict with his niece because of her gender
World boxing champion Anthony Joshua has been attacked following his prejudice comment against his niece.
The Englishman was said to have admitted in an interview last year to treating his son Joseph differently from his niece.
Joshua's interview has now resurfaced online where he said he is not strict with his son because of his gender.
'‘I don’t think I’m that strict with Joseph, I don’t know why.
’'But with my niece I’m strict. I think it is because she is older, but also he’s a boy and he’s going to be a man’s man, he’ll want to spread his wings, be a Jack-the-lad, build his character.
‘'I am sure there are things I will be strict about. But with my niece, there is none of that Jack-the-lad nonsense for her.
''My view is you have to be a good woman, respectful, one day you will be someone’s wife, you have to learn family morals… what it is to be a good woman.’ Joshua told GQ interview.
Meanwhile, his comments did not go down well with fans on Twitter who slammed the boxer for his viewpoint.
Earlier, NAIJ.com had reported how World boxing champion Anthony Joshua shared adorable video of how he was teaching his two-year old son Joseph how to speak Nigerian language Yoruba.
