Commending the champion, Globacom in a statement in Lagos said, “Anthony Joshua, has again demonstrated the resilient spirit of Nigerians through the successful defence of his world boxing titles on Saturday”, adding that “We are indeed very proud to have him as one of our brand ambassadors,”

It praised the boxer for his focus, tenacity and boxing prowess which earned him the victory.

Glo said, “Like you stated in the television commercial, ‘I was born hungry for success, it’s the Nigerian way’, you clearly demonstrated, right from the start of the fight, the determination to excel, the resilience and the ‘can-do’ spirit which Nigerians are known for,  thus achieving the remarkable victory”,  

Anthony Joshua’s professional boxing record now stands at to 24 – 1, (23 victories and one loss).

The stage is now set for the undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world bout between him and World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, scheduled for 2021.
