Sports writer and broadcaster for BBC Sport, Oluwashina Okeleji, shared
these surprising new revelations miniutes ago. British boxing champion
of Nigerian ancestry, Anthony Joshua, wanted to represent Nigeria at the
2012 Olympics, but a coach in Abuja told him there was no chance.
Joshua reportedly asked to join the Nigerian trials but was told that if
he was good enough he'd represent England instead of coming back to
Nigeria.

Who shame catch nah? hehe. Looser of a coach.
Wow!
I'm happy fortune smiled on him by using that coach to deny him representing Nigeria.
He wouldn't have come this far if he had represented Nigeria.
He wouldn't have been appreciated.
Who Nigeria help?
Your comment will be visible after approval.
Useless country.....someone go blame Buhari
Okay
... Merited happiness
Thank God that the Nigerian coach denied him the chance, they would have truncated his destiny and he wouldn't be world champion today.
Regular loss of talents due to bribery collection, nepotism, tribalism and having wrong people at the helms of affairs. A nation where virtually all the leaders are ROBBERS

Anthony should have bribed him, since that is the only language Nigerian Leaders understand... bribery and corruption... every boxer who goes to the Olympics one way or the day bribes their coaches. too bad.. you are going to rep your country and you are still bribing to do that. one day God will wipe out all the bad eggs in Nigeria.
