Anthony Joshua put on spot by awkward question from little girl

Anthony Joshua was mobbed by supporters as he visited the Makoko slum in Lagos, Nigeria on Saturday. The former unified heavyweight champion has travelled to the country to spend time with his family who originated from there. One little girl claimed the microphone and bravely said: “I’d like to ask why you’re boxing for Britain and not for Nigeria.” “My mum and my dad were born in Nigeria,” AJ began, “Then when they were 25 they went to London. I was born and I started boxing at 18. I came back to Nigeria many times when I was younger. And then one day my mum put me in boarding school [in Nigeria].” Joshua’s time at the boarding school did not last and he returned to the UK by the time he was a teenager.
