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

Continue deluding yourself. Onitsha ko Igbo Eze ni.

His name is ANTHONY OLUWAFEMI OLASENI JOSHUA

Joshua was born in Watford to a Nigerian mother and a British father of Nigerian and Irish descent.His cousin is fellow unbeaten professional boxer Ben lleyemi. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013.

Joshua grew up for some of his early years in Nigeria and returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, Joshua was called 'Femi' by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name 'Oluwafemi'. He excelled at football and athletics and broke the Year Nine 100m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.

That's from Wikipedia.

go and join him. Take another nationality and join him.
Being a Nigerian does not stop you from winning klitschko if you have the power. Samuel Peters (aka Nigerian Nightmare) did his best and won many titles.

No black footballer can achieve more than George weah, they can represent England as they want, that cant give them Ballon d'or .
remind me what he achieved besides winning world player of the year?



Kanu, Eto'o dusted Weah in everything so let's not overrate him

. Get it straight. Klitscko NEVER lost against peters... Why do u people write without checking your facts, its disgraceful . it was a 12round match and Klitscko won by unanimous decision , that was in 2005( or there about)

Please get your facts right...
Sorry for getting it wrong. I made a mistake. Thanks for the clarification. Peter lost twice to Wladimir and lost once to Vitali.

How to make $1 from everyone in the country - (Free book: Money Practical)

The day the financial story of my life changed was the day I realize I don’t have to work all my life for money, same day I realize I’m not greedy and I decided I will be satisfied with just one dollar from everyone in the country.

This made me to sit down and think of how to get paid $1 from everyone in my country, just by helping people helping them to make some money. This is why I decided to write a call to action book called MONEY PRACTICAL, from the name implies, this book is not a storybook, and not a novel, it is short, hands on, concise and will get you started immediately. Just by doing what you are doing now, browsing the internet.

The book is free, all you need to do is take a short survey (complete a questionnaire) before you could be able to download the book and the book is less than 1MB, the survey is to help in further research. What you think you know will stop you from learning, take your time and make sure you get this book it will change your financial story for good and it will make you rich.

AJ still have a big task ahead if he want to unify the division.... DW is waiting for him.... that guy na KO master... taller than AJ
If u watch boxing and good at analysing it, you will know deontey is not a match for A.J .
Deontey is a kid fighter, he hasn't really had a real opponent , A.J will floor him.
My concern was with Klitscko, since this big meat is gone, it is safe to say, A.J got no match in the heavyweight division right now, until someone else comes up...

Sanchez01:

LMAO! That Algeria is 'finished' does not mean the likes of Benzema and Zidane are useless. My point exactly is that most of these folks were naturalized all thanks to emigration.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Brazilian by origin but was naturalized a Portuguese.
David Olatokunbo Alaba is a Nigerian by Origin but he now plays for Austria and Bayern.
Ozil and Khedira are Turkish, yet they play for Germany.

The list is endless and it really has nothing to do with Nigeria or Africa.
which Cristiano Ronaldo are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense, sir. And Khedira is not of Turkish descent. Even Özil is 3rd generation Turkish so 3 of his generation were in Germany b4 he was born so to call him Turkish is tosh

Congrats to Anthony. He is lucky Vitali has retired. I remember how Samuel Peters rushed to beat Wladimir Klitscho and ended up being beaten blue black by Vitali. Anthony doesn't seem to have any major competitor in the ring again. Those dissing Samuel Peters seem to have forgotten that He fought in an era where the heavy weight division was populated with tough opponents like the Klitscho brothers, Oleg Maskev and the likes.
no sir. Samuel Peters beat him quite literally but he was robbed and the decision was given to klitschko

I love this man. I watched his gloves off interview with the Ukrainian and one can see the intelligence, calm and grace on his life. Even the Ukrainian would be proud to loose to Joshua after 10 year reign

. I just have a question and an advice.

1) Have u watched both fighters?

2) if No, (cos I strongly believe u haven't) please do so

If after doing so, u still have this opinion; then my doubts will become clearer : that you really don't know or understand the game of boxing ; perhaps u are a rookie in the game.
