English Nigerian Boxer Anthony Joseph Is Being Called A 'Sexist' Because Of This Remark He Made About His Niece

English Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua has been marked as 'misanthropic' after he confessed to treating his child Joseph uniquely in contrast to his niece.

As indicated by The Metro UK , the backfire came following a year-old meeting reemerged online where the world heavyweight champion said he isn't strict with his child as a result of his sex. In the March 2017 GQ meet, the 28-year-old said that he needs his child to 'spread his wings' yet that he is 'stricter' with his niece.

‘I don’t think I’m that strict with Joseph, I don’t know why,’ he said.’But with my niece I’m strict. I think it is because she is older, but also he’s a boy – he’s going to be a man’s man, he’ll want to spread his wings, be a Jack-the-lad, build his character.’ He added: ‘But 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.’ His comments did not go down well with fans on Twitter who slammed the boxer for his viewpoint.
