Its commonsense that Nigerians are winners and Anthony proves it. The world has to know that good things, better things, come from Nigeria!

Joshua defeated Klitschko at Wembley on Saturday to win the WBA and IBO heavyweight titles, in addition to his IBF title.
He also boasts of 100% knockout-to-win ratio since his professional career began in 2013 and he has fought 19 times since then.
