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.

“That would be definitely a dream come true,” Ibeh said. “That would be amazing.”

“It doesn’t matter where it is, I’m ready. “Anywhere. even in Nigeria..  It doesn’t matter if it’s in the UK. I would love to dance with him in the O2 Arena.

“I would definitely stop him, no questions about that, it’s going to come down to how soon or how quickly it goes.”
