The Humble life saving Mask

Covid has slowly and surely taken over the world. And I mean literally take over country by country, land, sea, air. Covid brought life as we know it to a stand still.

Training Youths in Diaspora

Blessings. I personally think its a personal thing.. Yes single parenting, working all hours are contributing factors but that is not the main problem and also it is not about the government asking us not to spank them. Training really is not about beating. What i do think is missing is communication. We are not talking enough with them parents. Either single or double.

Anthony Joshua's rarely-seen mother talks on his family life

Anthony's mother has given a rare interview about raising the heavyweight champion of the world, in which she calls her son 'a blessing'.

The boxer's mother Yeta Odusanya, 51, recalled her astonishment when one of Joshua's early trainers told her that her son would one day be the champion of the world, and how she thought to herself: 'What is he talking about?' 

With visible pride, Yeta told how much he 'inspires' everyone in her family, not just the younger generation.

She appears in new documentary The Fight Of My Life, filmed ahead of her son's career-changing fight against Wladimir Klitschko in April this year, in which she revealed she's only attended two of his matches because she finds it 'too emotional' to watch Anthony's punishing bouts. 

The cameras followed Yeta as she surprised an emotional Anthony with a family party just days before the big fight, to demonstrate just how proud she is of her son, who she said 'doesn't ask us for anything'.
