Two-time heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has expressed gratitude to Nigeria for the “energy, generosity and kindness” shown to him during his stay in the country as he departs to prepare for his next fight.
The British-Nigerian fighter, who has been spending time in his ancestral homeland to complete his rehabilitation from an injury, shared his appreciation through a heartfelt message posted on his Instagram account.
“Nigeria, thank you for your energy, generosity & kindness,” Joshua wrote in what many fans interpreted as a farewell message ahead of his return to England.
Several fans then commented, wishing the 35-year-old success as he returns to the ring.
Gbadia Figheghawei wrote, “Go and take over the world, my brother.”
Olumayowa Odejimi tipped Joshua for a third world championship reign, commenting, “We are behind you champ 3x.”
Another user with the username @iamdx2 added, “You have refuelled your energy, we want you to go and take back your world belts.”
