Anthony Joshua’s beaming mum gives thumbs-up after her son beat Wladimir Klitschko in Wembley boxing classic
Yeta Odusanya steps out in pristine white dress after a night of celebrations at home
BOXING supremo Anthony Joshua's proud-as-punch mum gives a thumbs-up as she steps out of her flat after last night's titanic clash at Wembley.
Yeta Odusanya — whose son cheekily banned her from the stadium during his heavyweight bout against Wladimir Klitschko — stepped out of her north London home in a pristine white dress on Sunday.
She got a call from Anthony's cousin after the fight to kick off a night of celebrations.
Beaming Yeta hasn't seen 'AJ' fight in the flesh since the London 2012 Olympics, which shot him to fame.
Before the fight Anthony revealed that his dad would be there, but mum would be kept at arm's length out of habit.
He joked: "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."
Yeta said before: "I still can’t watch his fights, I get really nervous and I do worry about him.”
Meanwhile, felled gent Klitschko called for a rematch after his noble defeat.
The big Ukrainian was floored in the 11th round against the Brit, and has admitted he is "interested" in taking on the now IBF, WBA and IBO champ immediately.

And it is not just trash-talk from the 41-year-old two time world champion, as he says there is another bout mentioned in the contract.
Klitschko told Sky Sports afterwards: "Of course, we have it in the contract, right now I'm interested.
"I need to analyse what the heck happened. I wish I could raise my hand, instead of somebody who didn't make it back to back.

"But congratulations to Anthony, he got up, he fought back, and he won the titles.";
Klitschko was floored three times by AJ during the beguiling fight in front of a record 90,000 crowd - while himself flooring his opponent in round six.
But he could not finish Joshua off with the telling blows, unlike the younger man who had previously never got past round seven in any of his 18 previous successful fights.
Joshua himself said he would "fight anyone" next when speaking afterwards - and said he was open to meeting Klitschko again.
He said: "I don't mind fighting him again, if he wants the rematch. Big respect to Wladimir for challenging the young lions of the division.
"It's up to him, I don't mind. As long as Rob [McCracken, Joshua's trainer] thinks it is good I'm good to go."
But in the ring afterwards, he did call out rival Tyson Fury, who beat Klitschko in Germany two years ago and has traded blows with AJ on Twitter recently.
He said: "Fury, Tyson Fury, where you at baby?
"Come on, is that what you want to see? I enjoy fighting, I love fighting. Tyson Fury, I know he's been talking a lot and he wants to come back and compete.
"I want to give 90,000 people the chance to watch another night of boxing. I just want to fight everyone I'm really enjoying this right now."
American WBC Champ Deontay Wilder, who was ringside at Wembley, says he wants a London “mega fight” against Joshua to announce himself as a heavyweight superstar.
