Popular media personality Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, often known as Do2tun, asserted that a large number of Nigerians didn’t think Anthony Joshua, a British-Nigerian boxer, would triumph over Francis Ngannou, a former Franco-Cameroonian UFC star, in their boxing match on Friday.
The former UFC heavyweight champion was defeated by Joshua in the second round of their Saudi Arabian fight.
Following Joshua’s victory over Ngannou, Nigerians flocked to social media to rejoice, and the Federal Government also congratulated him on social media.
Do2tun, however, responded via his X Twitter and stated that the majority of Nigerians initially opposed Joshua.
He wrote, “Be honest, so many Nigerians didn’t believe Anthony would win this fight. I did. I said to my friends, ‘Boxing is technical & just cos Francis knocked out Fury who I still think hasn’t fought a good contender doesn’t mean he will beat Anthony.’ We need to do better.”
Do2tun, who posted a screenshot of his tweet on his Instagram page, expressed the opinion that Anthony Joshua was correct to leave out Nigeria from his victory speech, which also recognized Saudi Arabia, Britain, and Cameroon.
The OAP wrote, “Success has a lot of family members.
“Failure is an orphan. Such is life but I’ll rather choose one with my full chest.
Let’s stay one place. He [Anthony Joshua] didn’t shout us out but do we truly deserve it?
“Tonnes even bet against him.. chai Naija for show.”
