Since his dramatic win against Wladimir Klitschko in the heavyweight title fight two weeks ago, Anthony Joshua has been getting plaudits, gifts and don’t forget, £19million for his round 11 TKO of the Ukrainian.
Recently, the Ife Monarch, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi penned a congratulatory message to the 27-year-old boxer.
According to reports, Joshua expressed excitement at the recognition of the Ooni, and read the letter several times ” and promised to frame the letter and put it on his wall at home” per Stella Bamawo [the Nation].
The letter was hand delivered to Joshua by elite Nigerian boxers, Larry Ekundayo and Ben Gray per Bamawo.
