The Ogun State Government has named a street in the Sagamu local government area of the state after British World Boxing Champion, Anthony Joshua.
Gbenga Banjo, the Chairman of the local government, made the announcement when he visited the family house of the Joshuas on Wednesday.
Banjo said the street, formerly known as Cinema Road, will now be known as Anthony Joshua Way.
He said renaming the road was the council’s way of showing appreciation to the boxing legend for “making Sagamu and Remoland proud.”
He added that by defeating Bulgarian, Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round during their fight earlier this month, Joshua has once again shown that the state has a lot of talents and if harnessed properly, would bring honour and laurels to the state.
