Nigerian Power Slap heavyweight, Kabiru Adediran, popularly known as “Hulk” has called out British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua for a fight, insisting his interest in facing the two-time unified heavyweight champion is genuine and not merely a social media stunt, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Adediran, speaking in a mix of Yoruba and Pidgin English, dismissed suggestions from critics who have mocked his ambition of stepping into the ring with Joshua.
“Let me tell you people something. You people that come to my comments that write, ‘see someone who wants to fight Anthony Joshua’, ‘he will beat you’. Do you people think? I have said it many times. This thing is not content, I really want to fight Anthony Joshua. I like him so much, he is my role model. What he does is not easy at all, and he has a great physique, and I know he is a great boxer,” he said.
The former Davido bouncer, who trains at 265 pounds (120 kilogrammes), added that a fight with Joshua, regardless of the outcome, would be financially transformative for him saying, “If I fight Anthony Joshua, if he accepts, I will get paid. So even if he beats me, I will not fight for free. So let the fight happen first.
