New world boxing champion, Anthony Joshua in the video above says eating Nigerian food is the secret of his success. Meanwhile, following the win from knocking klitschko out, Anthony Joshua is set to have a stadium and street named after him in Nigeria. This is to honour Joshua following his 11th round stoppage of Vladimir Klitschko at Wembley several weeks ago.
Joshua’s parents hail from Ogun state.
According to ESPN, the majority leader of the State House of Assembly in the Ogun State, Yinka Mafe, government in Nigeria, who was among those who watched Joshua’s win in an open air viewing center has vowed to ensure that the Sagamu International Stadium is named after Joshua. Also, the popular Cinema Street in the state will also bear his name, if all goes well.
Reports claim that Joshua’s great grandfather, Omo-Oba Daniel Adebambo Joshua, built the cinema that sits on the road during the 1950s.
“We are proud of what he has achieved as a son of Sagamu, and we will be happy to do our own little bit to show our appreciation and support for him,” Mafe said.
