Kwakwanso said Joshua’s “victory is a testament to the unmatched Nigerian grit and willpower”.
Anthony Joshua, 33, discomfited Jermaine Franklin, 29, in a unanimous points victory in a fight on Saturday 1 April, 2023, in London, England.
The Briton expressed unhappiness in his post-fight press conference as he failed to knockout his American opponent.
Another British heavyweight boxer, Dillian Whyte, after the fight, said Joshua has “lost his killer instincts” and suggested he “stop” fighting.
