Charlyboy and dad welcome King Davidson to Nigeria






                                             King Davidson, Justice Oputa and Charlyboy


The WBO Light Middle Weight Champion, King Davison Emenogu, popularly known as “Hand of God” has traveled far and wide in Boxing and has had over five titles to his credit in boxing.  Currently, the Imo born award winning boxer who currently shuttles between Australia and the United Kingdom is the world Light Middle Weight Champion. Even though not much has been said about him in Nigeria, the 27 year old Davidson has had the opportunity of fighting very tough opponents in the world.


Asking King Davidson questions on why he decided to come to Nigeria within this period, he said “there is no place like home. I feel I have achieved so much, yet in Nigeria, not much is known about me. My fathers, Areafada (Charlyboy) and T.B Joshua have asked me to come to Nigeria so they could present me to Nigerians, and to start work with them as soon as possible. Right now, the Areafada has put me in one of the best hotels in Abuja, and he is doing things for me in the most selfless way”

King Davidson had also emphasized that Charlyboy has been one of the few in the country who have inspired his creativity. According to him, Apart from my father, Mr Emenogu who gave me that early training I needed in boxing, people like Charlyboy have actually inspired my life. I’m where I’m today because I have always looked up to people like Charlyboy, he is my Idol. When I called him, and I told him to take me as his son, he told me, my son, you are already my son. He said he was going to get back to me, and that he would ask his Press Secretary to check through my profile on the internet. I was the happiest person that moment his press man sent me a mail, declaring that Charlyboy had accepted to welcome me into his abode. He had invited me to come down so he could introduce me to one or two people who may appreciate who I’m and what I have achieved for the country, and since I came in,  he has been so wonderful to me”

Also speaking on his relationship with T.B Joshua, the man with the heavy punch said “T.B Joshua has been very supportive of me right through my career. He gave me both financial and moral supports and has been following my career ever since then. Today, I’m called ‘Hand of God”, because a man of God has ordained my career. He predicts almost all my past fights.
  
Asking him on his amateur career, Davidson said,   “I represented Nigeria in the Common wealth game where I won bronze and in the All African games where I smiled home with a gold medal.  In total, I have fought over 180 times as an amateur boxer, and won 175 out of this total before I proceeded for my professional career.
Speaking on his achievements as a professional boxer, Davidson said, “I have fought sixteen times and lost one time. That was in Japan. I have always knocked out my opponent. Currently, I’m holding 5 titles. I’m the current IBF Champion, WBO African Champion, PABA/WBA Champion, Australian Title, and current holder of the Light Middle Weight Champion in the world.

Speaking on his marital status, Davidson said “I’m married to a white woman, Serena who has a daughter for me. My daughter Tiana is very close to me, and I love her., she is a super model. My wife is an inspiration. I’m very happy that I’m married to such a beautiful, caring and lovely wife. She has been a wonderful wife.
