Globacom, one of Africa’s four most admired brands, has reinforced its status as a world class brand as it signs an endorsement deal with the world heavyweight boxing champion, Antony Joshua. The relationship was unveiled at a media event in Lagos on Friday.
In a documentary shown at the event, Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua, who is proud of his Nigerian heritage, explained why he endorsed Globacom. “ I respect the ownership and management of Globacom and as a Nigerian, I believe charity must begin from home. I believe in Glo,” he said.
Giving further justification for his decision to partner with Globacom to propagate the goodness of the telecom company in Nigeria and Ghana, Joshua said, “There has always been a big piece of my heart as a Nigerian and I do believe that it is that piece that sets me apart. It always says to me, ‘never give up, dream big’. “We come from a nation of warriors and that is why I believe in Glo. We have that same tenacity, that Nigerian fighting spirit that makes us game changers. We are relentless. We don’t just face our challenges, we step into the ring to win again and again. If you believe in yourself, there is no limit to what you can achieve. Yeah, I used to be a bricklayer in England but now I am heavyweight champion of the world”, he stated with pride. Joshua, still talking on the qualities he shared with Globacom, said “we have the fastest speed, longest reach and the Nigerian fighting spirit as game changers. Glo, I hail o!” he said as he displayed the wakanda salute Globacom , which has been described as Nigeria’s Digital Transformation Leader, also used the occasion to unveil key products it plans to release in Nigeria in batches.
