Anthony Joshua might be on his way to having his first ever boxing match in Africa following a new interest in staging his next showdown by the Congo DRC who is also known for staging the infamous "Rumble In the Jungle" with Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974

The Democratic Republic of Congo, then-called Zaire in 1974 when Muhammad Ali's rope-a-dope tactics outfoxed George Foreman in a legendary heavyweight title fight, now wants to host a Joshua fight.

"[Promoter Eddie Hearn] is exploring an option in [Congo]. There has been an approach," Joshua's manager Freddie Cunningham told Sky Sports.

Joshua has proudly spoken of his Nigerian heritage and a fight in Africa, following in Ali's famous footsteps, is on his "bucket list".



Joshua had only just fought in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia on December 7th, making him the first boxer to stage a world class boxing event in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A showdown in Congo will further straighten Anthony Joshua's legacy as a world renowned heavyweight boxer.
