Ajagba on Anthony Joshua

The 30-year-old Ajagba, who lost to Frank Sánchez in 2021 in his lone professional match, responded to Ring Magazine by saying that AJ is not a true Nigerian as he hasn't been to Nigeria.

In a report by Sporting Life, Ajagba said, “I don’t think so. He’s not a real Nigerian.

“He might have just been there, and that’s where his parents came from, but for me, I’m the original Nigerian, to be honest.

"Not Joshua; that man has not experienced Nigeria. Almost all of his life has been spent in the UK; that’s why he hasn’t experienced it.

“He just goes there for social media content. It’s ok, it’s all good—but I’m the original Nigerian.

“In Africa, Nigeria is always No. 1 when it comes to sport, and I’m the original Nigerian. That’s what it’s all about—I’ve got power, and I’ve got skills.”

Ajagba is expected to return to action against Bakole in a rematch.
