“In addition to the fact that we are going to formally confirm you as our sports ambassador today, I would like to publicly ask that you return and light the Gateway Sports Festival torch; you will be the one doing so,” Abiodun stated.

“To make sure that you return home more often, we are planning to build a brand-new Anthony Joshua Indoor Boxing Ring at a stadium here in Abeokuta. We have chosen to give you a brand-new home in Sagamu in addition to the fact that you are now our official sports ambassador,” he stated.
