Breaking!!! Nigerian Boxer Knocks Out British Opponent In 6 Minute! (photo) by elitehowcom: 6:24pm On Jul 13, 2014 |
Nigeria’s 2012 London Olympics Gold Medal winner for Great Britain Anthony Joshua did not need to go through the full rounds in professional boxing before going past his 47 year-old former British and Commonwealth champion opponent Matt Skelton on Saturday July 12. The fight, hosted at Liverpool’s Echo Arenaadded another win to the blossoming Nigerian born 24 year-old who now has 7 straight record wins from seven professional bouts: All of the knockouts coming in the second round. Standing at 6 ft 6, Anthony Joshua made light of Skelton in two rounds, showing no mercy at just 6 minutes, a barrage by the young Joshua who is 23 years Skelton’s junior called the referee’s attention into what could have ended up a total decimation for Matt Skelton. ''I wish I had him when he was at European level but it's a good name on my record,’’ Joshua said. ''I was looking forward to getting in there and mixing it up. Now that's out of the way it's back to the gym. ''Matt was game but the plan worked, I stuck to my jab and if I keep progressing I'll keep getting these knockouts,'' he added. With this win, Joshua edges closer to the British Heavyweight championship, a title he has expressed his desire to contest for. Joshua has been touted as fighting cheap opponents who could hardly stand the punching power of a fighter his build at 6ft6 and weighing nearly 240 pounds, to this he said: "It's definitely a good name on the record, there's not much point in me fighting guys I'm knocking over all the time." His manager Eddie Hearn has already confirmed another fight date which is slated for August 30 against Ukrainian Yaroslav Zavorotnyi who only managed a 10 rounds win over his last opponent David Price, in Dublin.

prof800: Mike Tyson inspired.! True . OP may be talking of his Nigerian origin which still does not make him Nigerian. I agree with your conclusion that Joshua is not Nigerian according to nationality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Joshua Anthony Joshua |
