Who is Anthony Joshua’s sister Loretta Joshua?
Loretta Joshua is the biological sister of Anthony Joshua. They are Nigerians with a trace of Irish ancestry from her father’s side. Unfortunately not much is known about her personal life.
Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry.
Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.
Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi.
