He is a native of Watford, where he resides and has done so for many years, treated as a real hero in the area.
The Briton has been making investments with his boxing fortune, including on property in the London area.
And headlines emerged that Joshua could indeed be looking to purchase a share in EFL Championship club Watford FC.
AJ has now revealed an opportunity could yet arise, given his desire to continue to purchase valuable assets.
He told Seconds Out: “We wanted to move into private equity, venture capital funds.
“As you earn, naturally you want to save, so rather than me spending recklessly I’m trying to invest money into certain asset classes and that was an opportunity that presented itself.
“Nothing’s come of it yet. It’s a serious investment. If it comes off it’s one that should do well.
“If they went back to the Premier League then I’d need to get a shop on Market Street because the traffic that would be coming through Watford would be phenomena.
“I remember being on Market Street and watching the football fans.
“I’m not a massive football fan myself but watching the fans steamroll Market Street and steamroll Vicarage Road were real good scenes.

“If we don’t do it then good luck to them anyway because they’re a great team.”
The Hornets finished 14th in the Championship, securing their place in the division comfortably for another year.

They previously campaigned in the Premier League but were relegated in 2022, and have been outside of the top flight since.
Joshua’s investment would likely help try to restore the club’s chances of pushing for a place back with the country’s elite.
For now the Briton is focused on his boxing career, while talks rumble on in the background.
Joshua has yet to compete since losing by brutal KO to Daniel Dubois in September.

The Briton was heavily linked to a showdown with British rival Tyson Fury, but he is currently retired.
And in a new update, AJ has revealed his return date will be significantly delayed while he has surgery on a persistent injury.
He will likely return in the later stages of the year, once he is able to complete a full training camp.
