Joshua spent about 6 months in Nigeria during his secondary school years,and he has stated several times that he intended to visit his ancestral homeland since winning the HW title. Despite Googling the topic I cant seem to find anything about him actually returning there as a pro champion.
Anyone know if he has returned there since winning the world title and if there is any indication he may someday fight there?
Has AJ Visited Nigeria Since He Won the HW Title? Will He Ever FIght There?

Former MBC head honcho Luca has just done a show there with Lee Murtagh reffing and Riddick Bowe, Chop Chop Corley and Ray Mercer attending.

If there is money to be made I'm sure Eddie would do it!Best Coast wrote: ↑10 Apr 2018, 21:08 Joshua spent about 6 months in Nigeria during his secondary school years,and he has stated several times that he intended to visit his ancestral homeland since winning the HW title.

Nevertheless if you are cashing the cash, the most profitable would be the Vegas casinos, then The British football stadiums with stadium fights in Nigeria falling down the list.
While I'm sure AJ could attract at least 90 thousand Nigerians I doubt a venue could be found to accommodate it, and you wouldn't be able to charge top dollar for the tickets either.
