According to PUNCH Sports Extra, a Nigerian guy going by the name FBI has issued a challenge to Anthony Joshua, the two-time former unified world heavyweight champion, in a boxing bout, promising to knock him out in the second round.
Confident, the man told Joshua to choose a time and date for the bout.
The man gave Joshua the message in a recent video that has been making the rounds on social media. He was shirtless and showed off his physique.
“Joshua, I’m still waiting for you,” he said. It appears that you have received my message. All I need is the date, and I’ll display it to you. I will defeat you in two rounds as the FBI; I will defeat you in the second round.
After calling on Joshua for a fight, FBI proceeded to train with tyres, punching them, lifting them and performing various other exercises to demonstrate his readiness.
The video attracted massive reactions from Nigerians.

See some reactions below:
@LawrenceOkoroPG: “He thinks AJ fights because he’s angry with his opponents? He should get a promoter that can offer AJ $25million for the fight, then he can send AJ the invitation. But if he thinks he wants to get AJ into a ring by punching tyres and wrestling with a bag on the floor, then his brain should be accessed.”
@xuckk: “Ngannou had tougher trainings … yet he fell. S𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s over power cos Joshua would move your hairline further away from your face.”
@Tobi_goldd: “When Portable gets back from his US visit, we will consider this fight.. For now, he need to fight his landlord.”
@kings_4you: “Someone that will be rushed to hospital in the first round. You think professional heavy weight boxing is that gidigbo they do on the street.”
@i_jandor: “Make them check this man well, him dey kolo… Him think say Joshua na local boxer… How much u won pay am.”
