President Muhammadu Buhari has thumbed up for World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Anthony Joshua, for regaining his belts on Saturday night in a rematch with Mexican, Andy Ruiz Junior.
The President, in a congratulatory message by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina in Abuja, rejoiced with Joshua, saluting him for bringing joy to millions of Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora.
He noted that Joshua’s supporters across the world had rooted for him to regain the titles he lost about six months ago.
The president said he wished Anthony Joshua well as he seeks to bring more glory to Nigeria, and to the boxing profession.
Anthony Joshua beat Andy Ruiz Junior on a unanimous points decision in Saudi Arabia to seize back the heavyweight world championship belts he lost to his Mexican-American opponent in a shock upset last June.
