On Monday, the former heavyweight champion took to his Instagram story to share his thoughts:
“If you cheat on your partner and feel guilty after, that’s how you know you are loyal.”

The comment immediately ignited backlash on social media, with many accusing the 35-year-old boxer of trivialising infidelity and promoting harmful relationship dynamics.

While some defended the post as a joke, others labelled it “irresponsible” and “tone-deaf.”

A Twitter user wrote, “Anthony Joshua, you’re too influential to be posting rubbish like that. Guilt isn’t loyalty.” Another added, “How can cheating and loyalty be in the same sentence? Disappointed.”

Others pointed out that Joshua, known for his disciplined public image, may have been trying to be humorous but missed the mark.

If you cheat on your partner and feel guilty after, that’s how you know you are loyal.

The two-time former unified heavyweight champion has yet to issue a clarification, leaving fans speculating on whether the remark was sincere or satirical.

This is not the first time Joshua has stirred public conversation off the ring.

Earlier this year, he was linked romantically to a Ghanaian woman, and he has remained a consistent topic of interest both for his boxing achievements and public persona.
