Anthony Joshua has told his mother she is not allowed to attend Wembley Stadium this weekend when he fights Wladimir Klitschko.
He has also barred her from watching the fight on TV, and she will be informed of the outcome via a telephone call.
His father Robert will be among the 90,000 at the stadium on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office, but mum Yeta Odusanya will be at home in north London.
Joshua said: "My old man will be there but I don't really let my mum come to my fights.
"I've banned her. It's not a place where you want to see your kid, I don't think, at a fight. My dad can watch it, but not my mum.
"I would rather she not be there. One of my cousins will call her after the fight. She enjoys it all, though, and she gets a few freebies."
Joshua will be putting his IBF world title on the line, but said there was little point in trying to copy Tyson Fury who beat the Ukrainian in Dusseldorf in November 2015.
I would rather she not be there. One of my cousins will call her after the fight.
He added: "I haven't watched the Fury fight much. Fury is completely different to me.
"I can't box the way Fury boxed and expect it to be as simple as that for me. I just look at little parts of it, not the whole thing.
"Klitschko just didn't show up in that fight. A lot of great fighters have made mistakes and come back, so I'm expecting the best Klitschko.
"I'm just worried about what I can do. Everyone is different when you fight them. I'm going to worry about myself and how I'm feeling."
Watch Behind The Ropes with Anthony Joshua at 7pm on Sky Sports 1.
