ANTHONY JOSHUA SAYS EBA PLUS EGUSI THE SECRET OF HIS SUCCESS; SAYS MORE

DAILYPOST SHARES INTERVIEW WITHANTHONY JOSHUA

Heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has revealed the
Nigerian foods that gives him strength.
The UK-based boxer born to Nigerian parents said his
heart still belongs to Nigeria despite being rejected by the
country’s boxing officials many years ago.
Anthony, who knocked out Wladimir Klitschko, his
Ukrainian counterpart, in a heavyweight fight at Wembley
Saturday night, said he still enjoys Nigerian foods such as
pounded yam, eba and egusi, which he described as the
secret of his success.
Speaking on how he feels achieving such feat, the visibly
elated Joshua said, “Very humbled and not just for myself,
but for the people that have worked with me, so it is
important that I can only repay by achieving things in the
ring”.
“My heart is with Nigeria, my heart is with Britain, I’m a
Nigerian by blood, yes. Eating eba with egusi is the secret
of success”, he told Oma Akatugba of Sportsbrand.

On his connection with Nigeria, the heavyweight champion
said he would meet the governor of his state back in
Nigeria to help the people.
“I’m even trying out to get to meet the governor, and go
and get something back to Nigeria, even though we do
small things for the country between my family and my
mother.
“We help out the village she came from and If I could do
more on a large scale, I’ll definitely come down there and
associate myself more with Nigeria,” Anthony Joshua
added.
