Anthony Joshua wins! grin
Anthony Joshua has become the unified heavyweight champion of the world by adding the WBA belt to his IBF title with an 11th-round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium.

The 27-year-old Briton was knocked down in the sixth round but showed determination to bounce back and twice had Klitschko on the canvas in the penultimate round before the referee stepped in.

"As I said, I'm not perfect but I'm trying. You leave your ego at the door and respect your opponent.
"Wladimir is a role model in and out of the ring.
"I'm a little bit emotional, because I know I've got doubters. But I dig deep. When you go to the trenches, you find out who you really are."


When asked who he would challenge next... He said,

"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 has been talking a lot and wants to come back and compete

Read his biography, he is actually from Nigeria, Onitsha to be be precise. He is from the family of Odogwu IN umumya Lga. His dad, a Nigerian had some issues with his wife's brother who was a governor then so they had to separate.

His dad. a Nigerian sponsored his wife's brother throughout the election but the man disappointed him. That's a sum of 160 million dollars approximately.

let me copy the full story
