The doors at the
Sagamu and Lagos viewing centres will open from 6pm to give Nigerian boxing
fans the opportunity to watch all the undercard fights when Anthony Joshua defends
his world heavyweight titles against Carlos Takam on Saturday evening.
As the exclusive
African broadcaster for all Anthony Joshua fights, Kwesé will broadcast his
fight against Takam live on the continent’s largest pan-African free-to-air
channel Kwesé Free Sports.
Nigerian
audiences can join the estimated 80, 000 spectators expected at Cardiff's
Principality Stadium for two live screenings of the fight in Nigeria.
Simulcast
viewings will be held in Joshua’s ancestral hometown of Sagamu at the Baba Josh
Memorial Hall, as well as at the Hard Rock Café in Lagos. The live screenings,
which coincide with the Sagamu Day celebrations, are endorsed by the Sagamu
Youth Congress and will have members of the Joshua clan in attendance.
Spectators at
the viewing centres will also be kept entertained by musical performances and
stand-up comedy from local artists in the build up to the fight.
“We pride
ourselves on broadcasting nothing but the best in international and African
sporting action. We will once again provide exclusive broadcast of yet another
epic Joshua showdown on our platform, as well as live screenings of the fight
where we will see one of our own hopefully retain his unbeaten track record,”
expressed General Manager Kwesé Free Sports Nigeria, ChiChi Nwoko.
“As the only
pan-African and local sports channel in Nigeria with exclusive rights to the
fight, Kwesé Free Sports will broadcast the fight on UHF 32 in Lagos or channel
