Anthony Joshua biography.
When asked if the champion born Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua on the 15th of October 1989 in Watford England feels more British or Nigerian,the boxer born to Nigerian parents replied-i'm a citizen of the world.I feel British and i feel Nigerian,and yes i am a Nigerian man,i have Nigerian blood.
But the interviewer was not gonna give up so easily.He reminded the world Champion that when a Nigerian British commits a crime,he is deemed as a Nigerian in the press,but when he achieves success,he is Brit,Anthony turned on that beaming smile of his showing all his
teeth and said,"lets focus on the success and not the crimes"

He was then told how Nigerians were proud of him and everybody was talking about him back home,replying to this,the champ replied it makes him feel very proud and he wants to go home and see the governor and contribute in anyway he can.He also said he and his family have always given back in their own little way,especially to the community where his mother comes from.Anthony Joshua's mother is from the Yoruba tribe,so i am guessing he is talking about a governor from the Yoruba part of the country.He still lives with social worker mum Yeta Odusanya in a former council flat in North London.He recently bought her a Range Rover jeep.
