They can't fight more than twice a year. There is need for training and recovering from last fight. A minimum of 4-5 months is required before another match

But this guy British Nigerian only played the anthem of Britain. Me as a Nigerian to me that is an insult to our country


Insult? Nigeria not worthy for even the youths living in it, let alone for someone who isn't. As bad as Mexico is, it is light years ahead of Nigeria.

Go and check his latest post bout interview on YouTube in Saudi Arabia. In fact he mentioned boldly several times.

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.”

Just imagine all the self-deprecating comments that followed the praise of Nigeria.

People from outside would say positive things, some dollars would berate their own country. Nonsense!

Was it Nigerian anthem that made him what he is today? Was it Nigeria that trained him to the level he is today? Didn't you read that he attempted representing Nigeria in 2008 Olympics. What happened then? Maybe some official wanted him to grease his palms.

Bro, if he decides not to play Nigerian anthem, nothing spoil. If he plays it, he's only doing Nigeria a favour.

When he came to Nigeria and was hanging out with DJ Cuppy and co, wasn't there social media publicity about it.

Leave DAT tin Jo o! Who brought the man to limelight? The respect he has thus far given to Nigeria is enough! Papa wey born you and abandon you with Papa wey adopt you to make you a star, na which one name you go answer? Nigeria is largely, unfortunately , an evil land that eats up her own children....

It is workable.
Saw a video on YouTube where a wedding venue was constructed in open field at Eko Atlantic. White people shipped in the set and put it up in a couple of days. You cannot believe it. A castle fairy tale enchanted setting.
lolz, but the government won't just put money into building a new stadium just for boxing and after the fight, that's all, they are other areas begging for government attention, just take for instance the roads.
