Anthony Joshua has admitted his training regime doesn't leave 'much time for girlfriends' - and hinted he may not settle down for 10 years. The world heavyweight champion was accused by Amir Khan of having an affair with his wife Faryal, a claim Joshua immediately laughed off on Twitter.
As it transpired, the accusation was false, and Joshua insists romance is not on his mind as he bids to fully unify the heavyweight division.
He told the Evening Standard: "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.
"I was speaking to my coach, who worked with Carl Froch who had a 12-year career. One day it does finish and now he has all the time in the world to think about business, family.
"Not everyone likes the decisions I make but I've got to make my own decisions. Decisions I make impact others. And my time training means there is not much time for girlfriends either."
Joshua, 27, will defend his IBF, WBA and IBO titles against Kubrat Pulev later this year.
In April, he beat Wladimir Klitschko in front of a sellout crowd at Wembley Stadium, with the Ukrainian hanging up his gloves following the defeat.
