Born 15, October, 1989 , he holds the WBA and WBO title and netted £15 million with the WBA heavyweight champiom. Anthony Joshua is for many a rejected stone that has become the chief corner stone.

The boxer reportedly opted to represent Nigeria in the heavyweight category at the last olympic but was rejected by the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control, NBBC.

He later switched his allegiance to Britain and succeeded in wining gold medal for Britain in an olympic event that Nigeria failed to win any gold medal.

Reacting to the win, Nigeria’s common sense senator, Senator Ben Murray Bruce has called on the Nigerian government to invite anthony Joshua to Aso Rock for a hero’s welcome and make him a brand ambassador for Nigeria.
