The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said he is proud of the Nigerian-born boxer, Anthony Joshua, over his comeback victory against Jermaine Franklin.

Pulse reports that Joshua triumphed over his American opponent in a unanimous decision after a 12-round fight at the 02 Arena late Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Saturday's victory was Joshua's first in two years following back-to-back defeats against Ukrainian boxer, Oleksandr Usyk.

Meanwhile, Tinubu, who recently celebrated his 71st birthday is currently out of the country but spared some time to follow Joshua's exploits on Saturday.

Taking to his Twitter account shortly after he was declared winner, the boxer of Nigerian descent shared a picture of himself in the ring and captured it "Momentum."

Commenting on the post via his official Twitter handle, the president-elect said he and Nigerians as a whole are proud of Joshua.

"Congratulations Champ! @AnthonyJoshua. Determination and perseverance always pays off.

He also repeated the same message in a separate post he made earlier to congratulate the boxer.

Also, President Muhammadu Buhari hailed Joshua in a statement late Saturday by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

Buhari commended the triumph of the pugilist over Franklin, adding that the Nigeria-born boxer’s resilient spirit was commendable.

The president said he believed that the accomplishments of Joshua on the world stage would inspire many upcoming professionals, particularly sportsmen and women not to be discouraged by temporary defeats and setbacks.

His father is a Nigerian oga. Stop exhibiting your lack of knowledge everyday. He is a Nigerian, but mixed with Irish ancestry. That said, he is facing a worse luck if he embraces thiefnubu.
