British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua shares more photos on his Instagram page, as he continues to enjoy his vacation in Nigeria.
The IBF, WBO and WBA world boxing champion, who has been in Nigeria for weeks now, on Thursday night ,shared some photos at his family compound in Ogun State Nigeria.
The first photo he shared showed three generations of the Joshuas, with his father, son and himself posing for the camera. The other one had his father, son and his sisters, with his son striking a unique pose, telling the world the son of whom he is, and we love it!`
The 30-year-old boxer who recently retained his belts from Mexican Andy Ruiz, returned to Nigeria to say thank you to those that motivated him and inspired him for a comeback, after his shocking defeat to the Mexican during his U.S. debut in New York, in June 2019.
As part of his visit to Nigeria, just like the last time, Joshua and his team returned to a popular slum in Lagos, known as Makoko where they visited on his last visit, showing off his belts and took photographs with the people around.
From the latest photo he shared, he is clearly at his father’s home town of Sagamu in Ogun State, where he has been enjoying his vacation with his family. But from all the photos shared so far, there has been no sign of his mother, who has always travelled with her him, just like his last visit.
Anthony Joshua also registered for his national Identification card as a Nigerian, he also paid a visit to the palace of Akarigbo of Remo of Sagamu, where he was well received.
Although Anthony Joshua is yet to comment on the recent fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, his promoter Eddie Hearn has been doing all the talking. It was even rumoured that there are talks ongoing between his camp and that of Tyson to see how the two British boxers can face each other, even though there is a mandatory third fight later this year.
From all indications and what we have seen and heard from both camps of Fury and Wilder, the fight between Joshua and Fury would have to wait a long time for it to happen, as Wilder has already indicated his interest for a third bout with Tyson, as stipulated on their contracts.
While Anthony Joshua is waiting for a Tyson Fury fight or Wilder fight, and a possible unification, he is due to face IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on June 20 2020.
The 38-year-old Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) was originally scheduled to face Joshua as a mandatory challenger in the fall of 2017 until he withdrew due to injury. The native of Bulgaria has won eight consecutive fights since a 2014 title loss via knockout to Wladimir Klitschko.
It will be a difficult bout for both Joshua and Pulev, as both have just one defeat each, with Joshua having more KOs than Pulev. But are trusting on the Nigerian to take home this one, having learnt his lessons against Ruiz.
