One of Anthony Joshua’s uncles, Adedamola Joshua, has disclosed that the family is preparing for a special celebration in honour of the new world heavyweight boxing champion.
The 27-year-old Joshua, whose father comes from Sagamu, on Saturday beat veteran boxer, Vladimir Klitschko, in the 11th round of their clash in London.
Adedamola, who spoke with our correspondent at the Joshua family house in Sagamu, Ogun State, on Tuesday, said the British-born Nigerian comes from a united family.
He said, “The family as a whole is proud of Anthony’s achievements and we are very glad to be his relatives.
We celebrated his victory and there are other plans for a bigger celebration. It is really exciting to have one of our own creating such history in the world. At that age to have 19 fights and not lost any with all of them ending in knockouts is commendable,” Adedamola, who is in his late fifties, said.
