“I’m Hungry for More Success” – Anthony Joshua Targets Fury and Third Title in 2025
Anthony Joshua, the Nigerian-born British professional boxer, has set his sights on becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion in 2025, with his primary target being a victory over Tyson Fury.
Joshua made the announcement during a visit to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Wednesday.
This visit came shortly after the boxing champion met with Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, marking part of his trip to Nigeria for the festive season.
When asked about his chances against Fury, Joshua said, “We’ll see, let’s get in the ring.
Only God knows, but for me, we’ll see in the future.”
He added that he was determined to work harder and stay hungry for success.
Reflecting on his journey, Joshua admitted, “Time is of the essence, time is limited.
So, I just want to put in more work. In 2024, when I look back, I believe I could have done more, and I have another chance in 2025 to do more.
I’m going to make sure that I take every opportunity that comes my way.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
