Anthony Joshua today took a trip to his parent’s hometown in Ogun state. The British-Nigerian boxer today visited his hometown as he reconnects with his roots.
The boxer paid a courtesy visit to the traditional rulers in Sagamu Oba Adewale Osiberu, the Elepe of Epe and Oba Adewale Ajayiwho is the Akarigbo of Remo Land. He also shared pictures from his visit to his hometown.
Oba Adewale Osiberu said the boxer embodies the spirit of a true Sagamu son.
“Joshua family is a very popular family here and they occupy a very big area in the community. If you come into Sagamu and you say you are going to the Joshua family house, they will get you right there,” Oba Osiberu told Pulse Sports.
“The mum actually grew up in Sagamu here, the great-grand mother’s home is actually on this street, so nobody can doubt that he is from Sagamu.
“The fact that he grew up in the UK does not erode the fact that he is a Nigerian.”
