His message reads: “Joshua, I’m still waiting for you. I believe that my message has reached you. Just give me the date, and I’ll show you. As FBI, I will put you down in two rounds, in the second round, I’m gonna put you down.”

After making his statement, he proceeds to train with tires, punching them, lifting them, and performing various other exercises to demonstrate his readiness.

His statement has attracted the attention of many social media users, who have flooded the comment section of the post with their thoughts.

See some reactions below:

@LawrenceOkoroPG: “He thinks AJ fights because he’s angry with his opponents? He should get a promoter that can offer AJ $25million for the fight, then he can send AJ the invitation. But if he thinks he wants to get AJ into a ring by punching tyres and wrestling with a bag on the floor, then his brain should be accessed.”

@xuckk: “Ngannou had tougher trainings … yet he fell. Skills over power cos Joshua would move your hairline further away from your face.”

@Tobi_goldd: “When Portable gets back from his US visit, we will consider this fight.. For now, he need to fight his landlord.”

@kings_4you: “Someone that will be rushed to hospital in the first round. You think professional heavy weight boxing is that gidigbo they do on the street.”

@i_jandor: “Make them check this man well, him dey kolo… Him think say Joshua na local boxer… How much u won pay am.”
