Anthony Joshua, a former world boxing champion, who is currently in Nigeria on vacation, has been hosted by President Bola Tinubu.
The president received the boxer at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos on Wednesday.
During the visit, Joshua presented Tinubu with an autographed boxing glove.
The 35-year-old boxer, born in the UK to parents who hailed from Sagamu in Ogun, arrived in Nigeria a few days ago and has been spotted enjoying his vacation at various spots across the country.
On Monday, he was hosted by Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun, at the government house in Abeokuta, the state’s capital.
The governor honoured him with the state’s “sports ambassador” role and urged him to continue making Ogun proud.
Joshua’s visit to Nigeria comes four months after his shock defeat to Anthony Dubois in their IBF heavyweight title fight in September.
