Obviously Abuja stadium can not host the fight @ this point in time, it will consume a lot of resources, which perhaps the govt might not want to invest into.
If you know how much the Saudi Arabian authorities spent to put up those structures, you will know what am talking about.

Anthony Joshua ‘definitely’ wants to defend heavyweight titles in Nigeria after defeating Andy Ruiz

Anthony Joshua has confirmed he would “definitely love” to defend his heavyweight titles in Nigeria after defeating Andy Ruiz in their rematch.

The IBF, WBO and WBA champion recovered from a devastating upset in his first fight against the Mexican-American to reclaim the belts via a wide unanimous decision in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua, who is of Nigerian heritage, visited the country between the two fights and is keen to bring the first world heavyweight title fight to the continent since the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ in 1974.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, has received numerous offers to stage Joshua’s next fight. However, with the Briton likely to be forced to face his mandatory challenger with the IBF, Kubrat Pulev, a London homecoming fight remains a more immediate probability.

“People had been telling me I should go back for ages. It was crazy because they don’t have 24-hour electricity but they still know me and support me,” Joshua said.

“I went to the ghettos of the ghettos where it’s not all about egos and beef, it’s about people who are hungry to survive.

“It was one of the best things I’ve done. Africa’s rooting for me for sure, so I would definitely love to fight out there.”

Joshua’s parents are both of Nigerian descent and he actually attempted to represent the country at the 2008 Olympics.

But in the meantime, he insisted he’s not taking his eyes off the present after the lessons learned in his first fight against Ruiz.

“Five months from now, the belts go in the air and I have to defend them again,” Joshua said.

“I am only the champion for months again, so I can’t get too caught up in the moment and have to stay focused on the task at hand, which is not staying undefeated any more, but staying champion for as long as possible.”

Mumu I'm from Ogun state,and AJ is a British boxer not Nigerian, he was born in the UK and became successful there.he doesn't have any official affiliation with Nigeria,y'all put too much importance on a name.

Do you see anything Nigerian in his up there. So shut up and stop famzing, y'all should stop forcing the guy to associate with this country,he doesn't owe y'all nothing.
Joshua actually lived and schooled in Nigeria before relocating to the UK

Below is proof with photo of his alma mata

If he could fight in Saudi Arabia with all the concerns about human rights violation, of course he can also do it in Nigeria that is the senior brother of Saudi Arabia in human rights violation.

We love be the nation more than our leaders.

We have leaders who are not passionate about this nation. They only care about enriching themselves and family.

Useless somebody calling themselves leaders

I hate to say this.

The fight will drain our foreign reserve. I wonder if Congo called Zaire then ever recovered from Ali v. Foreman fight especially now that we hold the undisputed heavy title as the capital of world's poverty.
