Boxing sensation, Anthony Joshua, has received a congratulatory letter from the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, following his recent defeat of Vladimir Klischko to become the IBF and WBA ‘super’ heavyweight of the world.
Joshua, whose father hails from Sagamu, Ogun State, is said to have been touched and humbled on receiving the Ooni’s letter, which was hand delivered to him in London, and the massive support from Nigerians.
Oba Ogunwusi is the first Nigerian leader to officially have his congratulatory letter hand delivered and recognized by Joshua who went over the letter time and again and on each occasion beamed with a smile and promised to frame it and hang it on the wall at home.
The letter which was facilitated by Nigerian lawyer, Bob Olukoya, was hand delivered to Joshua by elite Nigerian fighter, Larry Ekundayo, and Ben Gray, the owner of commercial agency, World Class Athletes, who specialises in helping Nigeria to deliver on its huge wealth of boxing talent.
“It was wonderful to be able to help promote Nigeria in this way, and Anthony and his team couldn’t have been more welcoming to us because they know how we have helped represent Nigerian boxing,” Ben Gray revealed.
“Now that the Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo have led the way, I hope that Nigerians everywhere will recognise the huge asset that Anthony and other Nigerian boxers are to their country.
“This is particularly valuable to the country in helping create positive news stories about Nigeria on the international stage, and as a result, I hope we will see proper support of your incredible, world-class talent.”

Better to be late than never. All the same, a great effort from OONI ,acknowledging and celebrating the talented Yoruba,the new heavy weight world boxing champion. Every success bring along with it more family members but OMOLUABI characteristics brings more adoration. And this, he has as hereditary. So, therefore humility is the leeway to greatness.
