British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has decided to leave the United Kingdom and relocate to Dubai.
The 36-year-old confirmed that he will become a resident of the city in the United Arab Emirates, despite the ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
Dubai has reportedly been among the locations affected by Iranian retaliatory strikes following America’s initial attack.
Joshua, a former heavyweight world champion born in Watford to Nigerian parents, represented Great Britain and won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
According to the Daily Mail, he is now set to leave the country.
The move became public through documents Joshua filed on Friday relating to his £150 million business empire, in which he was required to declare his country of residence.
The paperwork shows that Joshua went ahead with the change of residency despite the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
Reports indicate that Iran has targeted parts of the UAE with missiles and drones over the past 10 days to two weeks.
This has prompted more than 100,000 Britons to attempt to leave the Middle East nation and return to the United Kingdom.
