Do2tun, the popular media personality, Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, also known as Do2tun, recently shared his insights on the boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou. Despite Joshua's impressive victory over Ngannou in Saudi Arabia, Do2tun revealed that many Nigerians initially doubted Joshua's chances of winning. He expressed his belief in Joshua's skills and technical prowess in the sport of boxing, contrasting Ngannou's knockout of Fury.
Following Joshua's triumph, Nigerians flooded social media with celebratory messages, even prompting the Federal Government to extend congratulations to the boxing champion. However, Do2tun pointed out that a significant number of Nigerians did not support Joshua from the start, emphasizing the need for better support and belief in Nigerian athletes.
In his Instagram post, Do2tun highlighted Joshua's decision not to mention Nigeria in his victory speech, suggesting that Joshua's omission was justified given the lack of widespread support from Nigerians. He reflected on the concept of success having many supporters while failure stands alone, underscoring the importance of standing by individuals through both victories and defeats. Despite the absence of a shoutout to Nigeria, Do2tun questioned whether Nigeria truly deserved recognition considering the doubts and bets placed against Joshua in the match. The post delved into the complexities of support, success, and national pride in the realm of sports, urging for a unified front in championing Nigerian athletes on the global stage.
