Anthony Joshua mocks Pulev after punching him out of match
Nigerian born Unified world Heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has described his opponent in Saturday’s fight,Kubrat Pulev as a lousy opponent who made a lot of noise before the game
In a metaphorical caption”Cooked a cobra and thanks for coming” on his Twitter handle, Joshua likened his defeat of Pulev to taming a cobra,a venomous snake that makes itself look bigger and more threatening by hiding its skin at the back of its head
The Bugarian born professional boxer had boasted he would dethrone Joshua in the heavyweight clash at Webley Arena, London last night.However his pride was wounded in his fall as Joshua dominated the fight, showed sophistication and outclassed his skills and knocked him out in the 9th round to retain his 3 titles -IBF,WBA and WBO.
Joshua had never hidden his identity as a Nigerian.He told President Muhammadu Buhari in January that he would stand up for Nigeria.
After winning his march against Pulev, Buhari congratuled Joshua and said “his victory has given boxing lovers round the world something to cheer by retaining the IBF,WBA,&WBO titles”
The President who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,Femi Adesina recalled his meeting with the boxing champion earlier in the year and wished him more greese to his elbow as he takes on Tyson Fury.
