President Buhari has celebrated the victory of Nigerian-born boxer, Anthony Joshua over Kubrat Pulev on Saturday night, December 12.
A statement released by presidential aide, Femi Adesina, says the President said that by retaining his IBF, WBA, and WBO titles, Joshua has given boxing lovers round the world, and particularly in Nigeria, something to cheer.
