Anthony Joshua's mega-money fight against Wladimir Klitschko is fast approaching. The two will enter Wembley in front of a sellout 90,000 crowd on April 29.

You'd expect that the pair's schedule would be far too busy to fit much in outside of training at the moment, but this didn't stop Joshua giving people an insight into his family life on TV programme 'Behind The Ropes'.

Joshua revealed that he set his path towards boxing to give his son a good example, and to provide him a better platform to succeed than he was given as a child.

Joshua said: "I look at what I am creating.

"Giving my little boy a better opportunity than I had. That's what life's about: the next generation have a better opportunity than we had.

"Becoming a father hasn't changed me that much, because I was always a family man anyway.

"It's a beautiful thing, you know. As he gets older and you see his personality, he's gaining his character, he knows who his dad is."

Joshua realises that life as a professional athlete requires plenty of time spent away from home, but he believes that his time away from home is a positive for his family, as it allows him to focus on his career and job as a role model for his son to aspire towards.

"I am not away from home or from him wasting time. I am away from home doing something that will benefit us all, that he will be proud of.

"And when he looks back in the future, when he gets older - and he won't be a little boy, he'll be a big man - he will appreciate the fact that I had to go away and was disciplined. And when he has to focus on his career and his job, and he'll look at how his dad was and say: 'I've got to do the same thing, I've got follow in the footsteps, I've got to be disciplined, I've got to take time away'."

Joshua said he wouldn't mind if his son wants to be a fighter when he grows up, but is wary that he'd spend his life trying to be his dad. He needs to forge his own path.

"I wouldn't have a problem with him being a fighter, I would just tell him not to compare himself with me, be your own person and set your own limits and however far you can go is an achievement for yourself. Don't compare yourself to anyone.

"This is about him, I wouldn't want him to compare himself to anyone. I don't want himself comparing himself to me, that's the only thing I don't want."

Having Anthony Joshua as a father would certainly help provide you with a platform from which to succeed, and Joshua is aware that his legacy could be difficult to live up to.

Whatever Joshua Jnr decides to do with his life, however, his dad's intentions are clear: "I am just setting the foundations for him to follow."
