It's
no more news that one of the heavyweight boxers in the world has
Nigerian roots with his family house traced to the South-western part of
Nigeria.
Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitchko
Here are pictures of Anthony Joshua family house in Sagamu. It's
located along Akarigbo road, beside Firstbank Ijokun, Sagamu, Ogun
State.
In front is a banner of him been celebrated when he won a fight
last year against his challenger, Eric Molina (before the Wladimir
Klitchko's fight).
The street where Joshua's family house is situated
Joshua was born in Watford to a Nigerian mother and a British
father of Nigerian and Irish descent. His cousin is fellow unbeaten
professional boxer Ben lleyemi. The pair made their professional debuts
together in 2013.
Joshua grew up for some of his early years in Nigeria and returned
to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary
School.
Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, Joshua
was called 'Femi' by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle
name 'Oluwafemi'.
He excelled at football and athletics and broke the Year Nine 100m
record with a time of 11.6 seconds. He recently raked 15 million pounds
from his Klitchko fight and is poised to battle his British counterpart,
Tyson Fury.
