Nigerian-born heavyweight boxer Kingsley “The Black Lion” Ibeh has issued a direct challenge to former unified world champion Anthony Joshua, proposing a bout to take place in Nigeria.
Ibeh, who has been on an impressive run of 11 consecutive wins since a 2021 loss to Jared Anderson, most recently secured a three-round knockout victory over former world title challenger Gerald Washington.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Ibeh stated that Joshua would be the ideal opponent for him to make a major statement.
“We need the right platform and the right opponent to make a statement with and there’d be no better one than AJ,” Ibeh told Sky Sports.
