Champion Boxer Anthony Joshua Gifts Autographed Glove to President Tinubu

On January 1, 2025, former two-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his residence in Lagos.

During the visit, Joshua presented the President with an autographed boxing glove inscribed with a personalized message: “To the Great Asiwaju Jagaban Borgu of Africa, Bola A. Tinubu.”
