In his twelve years in the spotlight, he has been romantically linked to Cara Delevigne, Laura Woods, and Bella Hadid.

However, Anthony Joshua has always made an effort to keep his sexual life completely secret, even in the face of widespread curiosity about his past.

But earlier this month, the 34-year-old British boxer made waves with an adorable display of devotion with blogger and businesswoman Kika Osunde.

The sportsman appeared overjoyed to see Kika in the stands following his victory over Francis Ngannou on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.

AJ rushed to embrace the 37-year-old social media celebrity, and she promptly planted a kiss on his cheek.

After kissing the stunning woman at the ringside and defeating Francis Ngannou in two rounds in neighboring Saudi Arabia, the boxing champion snuggled close to her as they quad biked across the desert.

Following his knockout victory in Dubai earlier this month, Anthony Joshua, 34, put on a very cozy show with Kika Osunde, 37, owner of a British hair shop and influencer.

The Sun claims that Anthony asked her, “How are you, Kika?” It’s been so long since I saw you! How are you doing?

A few days later, Kika shared a video of herself and Anthony enjoying some quad riding over sand dunes in Dubai on her Snapchat.

Kika, who is among Snapchat’s ‘Top 5 UK Stars’ and has over 275,000 Instagram followers, is also a proud co-founder of the Good Hair wig company and the Brass and Copper restaurant in Lagos.

Despite Anthony’s insistence that he is only in a relationship with professional boxers, FEMAIL explores the history of the lady who could have won his heart, from a controversy involving leaked naked photos to criticism for an expensive career Q&A.

upbringing and aspirations for a business

According to her website, Nigerian Kika was the youngest of four “eccentric” children and was born in North West London in December 1987.

Kika characterized herself as ‘fun, warm, trendy and energetic’ and said that her friends nicknamed her ‘Keeks or Ronks’ in an interview with Femmetrepreneur in 2017.

Praising her upbringing, Kika told the publication: ‘My mother is my biggest supporter and has inspired me to be the ambitious, tenacious devotee of Good Hair. She taught me good work ethic and how to be a go getter!’

Kika enrolled to University College Birmingham to study Business & Marketing, having set her sights on the business world from an early age.

Kika met Chioma, her business partner, while attending university, and the two became close because they both loved wigs and weaves.

After graduating, Kika and Chioma opened Good Hair in 2009 and started heavily advertising it on Facebook, where in only two years, they gathered 135,000 followers.

The couple opened a nail, lash, and male grooming business in Lagos in addition to selling their hair extensions online.

Brass & Copper, a restaurant that Kika and Chioma opened in January 2018, has a “metallic Scandi-esque vibe,” according to them.

‘Arrest warrant’ for Kika

Kika (pictured) characterized herself as ‘fun, warm, trendy, and energetic’ and shared that her friends nicknamed her ‘Keeks or Ronks’.

Kika became involved in a scandal in Nigeria in the beginning of 2020 after it was said that she had leaked a naked picture of a fashion designer who was married to a millionaire businessman.

The social media celebrity has always denied being the source of the harmful tales about the designer that appeared in the local media, according to the journalists in charge. Kika was named as their source.

According to a story by the Nigerian newspaper The Will, the social media celebrity was wanted by the authorities to be questioned but had “taken refuge in Ghana” at the time before going back to the UK.

Kika responded to the accusations made against her on her Instagram Stories in March 2020.

‘I wish to notify the wider public that I’ve witnessed what is out there against me and my person,’ she added in a statement. In any case, I’m not prepared to get into arguments with anyone.

I’m currently speaking with my attorney and reporting to the British authorities that I believe I am also in danger of losing my life. Right now, I’m no longer safe. I am aware that the DSS has received a report on me.

In 2020, Kika (pictured) responded to the accusations made against her before going back to the UK to spend time with her family during lockdown.

“I am aware of my legal rights, and the law will take its course” I will fight my battle by going via the proper channels.

But I won’t back down; I’m not afraid of intimidation or extortion from those who are attempting to cover up their crimes.

I shall express the truth in context and with facts at the proper moment. I will fight for my rights since I am aware of them. Keep checking back…

It doesn’t seem like Kika has ever responded to the accusations once again. Kika described her time during the epidemic in the UK in an interview with the Nigerian newspaper The Guardian.

She explained: ‘I’ve stayed very close to my family. We all decided to quarantine together, which was the best decision we made as we went through all the mental and emotional turmoils of a global pandemic together.’

Slammed for ‘Kika Experience’

Kika now splits her time between London and Dubai and has amassed over 593,000 followers on Snapchat.

The social media star has been named a ‘Top 5 UK Snapchat Star’, having racked up over 100m views on the platform.

In 2022, the star hosted an event in London called ‘The Kika Experience’ where followers could pay £225-a-ticket for an exclusive Q&A with the influencer.

On her blog, Kika wrote: ‘By the end of the experience, you’ll walk away with a playbook telling you all you need to know creating and leveraging valuable relationships across your career.’

On her YouTube channel The Way Up with Sol, social media star Solange criticised Kika for asking her fans to pay £225 for a ticket without specifying who the panellists at the experience would be.

Solange said: ‘Even though [her fans] want to get that experience, they might need a little more explanation because there are so many scammers out there.’
