Anthony Joshua

Governor Ibukunle Amosun of Ogun state and the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, are among a number of top Nigerian officials who will be at the ringside on Saturday night, October 28, to support Anthony Joshua against Carlos Takam in an IBF and WBA challenge billed for the Principality Stadium in Cardiff Wales. The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, is also on the federal government’s entourage. 

Dalung said with the two West African neighbours having a healthy rivalry in the sporting world, Nigerians will be happy if Anthony Joshua defeats the 2003 All-Africa Games bronze medalist. “Of recent, Nigeria has enjoyed the upper hand against its West African neighbours Cameroon. The Super Falcons defeated the Indomitable Lioness in their backyard to claim the 2015 CAF Africa Women Cup of Nations.

Few weeks ago, the senior men’s basketball team beat Cameroon to advance to the semifinals of the FIBA Africa Cup Championship. The success of the Super Eagles against the Indomitable Lions where they snatched 4 points from the available 6 points to qualify for the 2018 World cup is still fresh in our memories. 
“Another win by Anthony Joshua will confirm our superiority and how far our sportsmen have gone in recent years.” A confident Joshua who took part in Wednesday’s open workout session at the St David’s Hall in Cardiff has promised to give his fans something to cheer about as he defends his world titles.

Joshua won't try to under-rate Takam's treats despite being a last minute replacement for Pulev. Takam has recorded 35 wins and just three losses in the 38 fights as a professional since 2005. 
NAIJ.com had earlier reported that Anthony Joshua said he expects his title defense against Frenchman Carlos Takam to last "10 or 12 rounds" because his opponent's head is like a block of cement. Meet the family of boxing legend Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua - on NAIJ.com TV
