Meanwhile, boxing pundit Bakare believes Joshua’s ‘homecoming’ could be what he needs to return to winning ways.
Bakare told Henzodaily.ng:
“It’s a good thing that Anthony Joshua is trying to identify with his roots, but how does that affect his career?
“Does it help him bounce back on his feet to get a better challenge and become the greatest heavyweight champion of the world again?
“Or is it the end of the road for him? We can’t really tell, but it’s a good thing that he’s in town.
“Maybe he needs to rehabilitate himself by going back to his roots to understand what’s really been going on. Perhaps that’s how he could get motivated to return to the ring.”
