Anthony Joshua has admitted that Islam has played a big role in his boxing career after beating Mexican-American opponent Andy Ruiz in Saudi Arabia.

Anthony Joshua reclaimed his belts after his victory over Andy Ruiz even though he had to win the fight via unanimous decision.

In June this year, Anthony Joshua was shocked in New York as he lost for the very first time in his career against Andy Ruiz.

The defeat propelled him for a rematch against Andy Ruiz which he won on Saturday night, December 7.

And after his victory over Andy Ruiz, a reporter went to Anthony Joshua to ask him how he feels winning back his titles in a Muslim nation.

The reporter reminded Anthony Joshua on how Muhammad Alli proclaimed his faith in Saudi Arabia after winning world tittle.

He then asked Anthony Joshua to speak on the role Islam has played in his life.

''A big role Islam has played in my life because my uncles went to Mecca and pray for me and if a Muslim comes to me and pray for me for blessings. I will respect the person,'' Anthony Josshua explained while answering the question.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), congratulated Nigerian-born British boxer, Anthony Joshua over his victory in Saturday’s World Heavyweight Boxing fight in Saudi Arabia.

Anthony defeated his opponent, Andy Ruiz Jr, on Saturday, December 7, to reclaim his World Heavyweight titles.

Reacting to Joshua's victory, Dabiri-Erewa, in a statement by NIDCOM head of media and public relations, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, in Abuja on Sunday, said it is a testimony to the fact that Nigerians are great people.

Someone that drank acid and is responding to treatment huh? Are you dumb or are you a robot? Doesn’t it seem obvious to you that the wife was over killed? When the husband should ordinarily be the focus of the attack as he’s bigger and stronger? With the viciousness of the attack, much less violence was taken out on the husband than the wife, obviously to prevent suspicion. He should be thoroughly investigated. Marital crises can cause anything!

Imagine raiding a house and locking them in separate rooms... then they take their time to attack the wife and force her to transfer money (proof of robbery). Before going to the man’s room to attack him... attack obviously targeted the woman and, someone didn’t want to see his wife killed.

Lagos slay queens don cause something for this marriage. The wife’s attack is very convenient. Maybe she was planning to leave him?

You have a good point

You are just repeating what I'm saying!

Take a deep breathe, read again.

Nothing like a "bad "gene here, rather having grey hair early in life has to do with his or her gene, whether it started at 8 or 44 does not change the narrative!

Well you have a point

So I stand corrected

Cheers

somehow:
In a bid to sound grown up, you ended up soundings like a kid.

I'm a teenager for saying that having grey hair very early is a gene issue?

Please, can you tell me the difference between your comment about your 8 years old then brother and my comment?

You tried to reiterate the fact that he must be having wrong genes for greying at 44+

And I corrected that notion that there are lots of people with gets early and had nothing to do with their genes

So I assumed you a teenager who might not understand this not in a derogatory way
