Davido Shares Excitement Over Meeting Anthony Joshua in Lagos

Nigerian music icon Davido reportedly expressed his thrill at meeting British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua in Lagos, reigniting fans’ excitement over their shared cultural ties.

Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, was recently spotted jogging through Lagos streets, connecting with fans, as shared in a video on April 7, per Punch Newspaper. Davido, known for hits like “Awuke,” has been active in Lagos, promoting his 2025 album 5ive. While no official confirmation of their meeting has surfaced, sources suggest the two met at a private event, sparking buzz on social media.

Davido and Joshua, both of Nigerian descent, have crossed paths before, notably in 2017 at a Dubai nightclub, where they bonded over their roots.

This latest encounter, if true, comes as Joshua reflects on his career after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024, with promoter Eddie Hearn noting Joshua’s desire for a comeback fight by late 2025. Davido, meanwhile, has been vocal about supporting Nigerian talents globally, and meeting Joshua aligns with his advocacy for cultural unity.

Fans on X speculate the duo might collaborate on a project, given Davido’s history of celebrity crossovers, but skepticism remains, could this be a publicity move amid Joshua’s career crossroads? Their meeting, symbolizes a powerful blend of music and sports, potentially inspiring fans across both industries.

As Davido continues his global rise and Joshua eyes a boxing return, this moment highlights the enduring connection between Nigerian stars on the world stage.
