Anthony Joshua says that his drive to stay connected with the local community and help other groups is part of a “natural” instinct. The Watford-born boxer who grew up on the Meriden estate constantly brings up his Watford hometown and tries to “stay connected” with the community despite his fame status. Speaking to Watford striker Troy Deeney in his new podcast series ‘Deeney Talks’, Joshua explained that to him it’s important to not let go of the things that made him become who he is. “No matter where we go in life on your way up, you’re probably going to meet the same people on your way down,” said Joshua.
