Recently, Anthony Joshua took to cracking up his Nigerian fans by attempting to speak his Nigerian indigenous language Yoruba. The boxer whose family house is in Shagamu made a show of speaking the native tongue.

However, one cannot help but notice how his words were laced with the British accent. For this reason, the friends around him made jest of him and made reference to his hometown.
