Joshua reveals punch he’ll never forget – Punch Newspapers
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has revealed the punch that he won’t forget among some of the big hits he has received in his boxing career. He revealed it was a punch he took in his amateur days which was one he will never forget. I’ll never forget that punch. So there was emotional pain and physical pain,” Joshua said. If a fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder ever does materialise, Majidov may be relegated to inflicting the second hardest punch ever landed on Joshua as the American’s knockout power is well advertised.

Our external and overseas trade must be re-constructed to connect areaswhich are at present untounched by us.

In other words, as ‘one of the many means of easing our adverse balance of trade, Pools venture should be a monopoly of the Nigerian Government and of Nigerian citizens who know something about Pools transaction. By planning I do not mean a mere series of budgetary proposals covering a period of five years or so.
