Anthony Joshua reveals his plans for this year's Christmas celebrations, including his festive menu, favourite Christmas tune, and the gift he wants from a heavyweight rival.
The unbeaten 28-year-old should be in the party mood after retaining his WBA 'super' and IBF heavyweight titles with a stoppage victory over Carlos Takam in October and talks are continuing over a unification clash with fellow champion Joseph Parker.
But how does Joshua enjoy Christmas day? 'AJ' talks about stockings, sprouts, and his desire to fall asleep on the sofa...
One hundred per cent. Early morning it will just be like us, obviously the immediate family, then after I've woke up we might go to my Auntie's or something.
When I was younger, I wouldn't really crack open a bottle of champagne, but it depends which type of mood I'm in. If I'm really in the spirit and I've had good rest, I might wake up, stretch, go downstairs and get a glass of champagne and toast to Christmas.
It's all about relaxing. It's a nice day to relax. It's like having a day off, a weekend off. You know when it's a weekend and all you want to do on Sunday is relax. That's what Christmas day is like. All you want to do is relax and eat good food, but the difference is, it's not a work weekend, it's a festive period, so you're in good spirits.
It's different. We'll have a lot of pounded yam, eba, a bit of cultural food, and then the general turkey, potatoes and stuff like that. A bit of a mixture for everyone.
Apple crumble. Remember, I don't get a stocking.
Home Alone.
Up! I turn them right up. I think it's the Mariah Carey one actually, 'All I want for Christmas, is you.'
Every present is a nice one. A pair of socks, but I'm not complaining.
