‘I was speaking to my son who is 18 months and I could see he was looking at my eye and he went, ‘Wow”.

‘I’m going back to the same house and the same family. Nothing changes,’ Joshua said.
‘I had a big sleep at the time my body needed it. I’m looking forward to having more lie-ins and taking it easy for a few weeks,’ he added.
While Joshua’s next opponent is yet to be decided, he called out fellow Brit Tyson Fury in the ring after defeating Klitschko through an 11th-round stoppage.
Joshua called out to the crowd: ‘Fury where you at, baby?’
He added: ‘I love fighting. Tyson Fury, I know he’s been talking, I want to give 90,000 a chance [to see us], I just want to fight.’
