Popular Nigerian Stand-up comedian Stanley Chibunna aka Funnybone has told Nigerian-British boxer, Anthony Joshua not to fight Tyson Fury.
The comedian who is also an actor sent the message in a video post on his Instagram page, noting that AJ is no match for Tyson Fury citing how the Gypsy king defeated Deontay Wilder.
Funnybone told AJ to simply fight and defeat Oleksandr Usyk the Ukrainian and return to Nigeria where he will be hosted.
“Good morning, I do not know if anybody has AJ, Anthony Joshua’s number. I want to quickly talk to him as a brother and a friend. AJ please, I hope you saw the fight last night. Our ‘Edo brother’ Wilder, you saw what happened to him. I said let me beg you, please, you know you are our Ogun State brother too.
“Please, do not listen to Fury, don’t fight him. He is wicked. E dey find person to kill. Please after you win this boy that won you the last time, collect your belt and come back to Ogun State, come to Lagos and we will host you. No fight Fury o, e go whine you but no fight am.”
AJ after his defeat from Usyk officially triggered the rematch clause which according to his promoter, Eddie Hearn would hold March 2022.
