Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to invite Anthony Joshua to the President Villa in Abuja.
Murray-Bruce took to his Twitter account on Monday, to call for the 27-year-old boxer to be made a brand ambassador for Nigeria.
He wrote: “The best thing to do for our image is to invite Anthony Joshua to Aso Rock for a hero’s welcome and make him a brand ambassador for Nigeria!”
Nigerian-born Joshua produced a remarkable recovery, to knock out Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round of an epic heavyweight world title fight at Wembley on Saturday night.
The 27-year-old appeared to be on the brink of his first defeat since he turned professional, after he was floored in the sixth round. But he produced a dramatic late onslaught to halt Klitschko with one round left.
With this victory, Joshua has successfully defended his IBF title, while also claiming the WBA ‘super’ belt.
Although he was rejected nine years ago by Nigerian boxing officials, Joshua has always spoken highly about the West African country and its sumptuous delicacies.
