JUST IN: Dino Melaye Begins Boxing Training, Says His Target Is to Beat Anthony Joshua to Stupor

Former senator and two-time member of Nigeria’s National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has stirred buzz online with a bold declaration—he wants to beat British boxing star Anthony Joshua “to stupor” in a boxing match.

The flamboyant politician, known for his lavish lifestyle and collection of luxury cars, made the statement in a dramatic fashion, though it remains unclear whether he was speaking in jest or teasing an upcoming celebrity match-up.

Melaye, 51, who once served as a member of the House of Representatives and later as the Senator representing Kogi West, is no stranger to headlines. His latest comments come as a surprising turn in his public persona, now positioning himself as a potential contender in the boxing ring.

Anthony Joshua, 35, is a celebrated figure in the world of boxing. The former two-time unified world heavyweight champion held titles between 2016 and 2021, and also reigned as the British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion from 2015 to 2016. As an amateur, he brought home a silver medal for England at the 2011 World Championships and a gold medal for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics. He turned professional in 2013 and was named Prospect of the Year by *The Ring* magazine in 2014.

With no official confirmation of a bout between Melaye and Joshua, the senator’s comments have left many Nigerians amused and curious about what might come next.
