Joshua, a Nigerian-British boxer, beat Mexican-American boxer, Andy Ruiz Jr., through a unanimous points decision in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
The victory helped him to reclaim the IBF, WBO, WBA and IBO heavyweight world championship belts he lost to Ruiz Jr. in June.
According to reports, the heavyweight champion is set to present his belts to president Buhari.
Laolu Akande, Media Aide to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made the disclosure known while briefing State House correspondents on behalf of the Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare.
The briefing took place after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Osinbajo on Wednesday in Abuja.
Akande, however, said the date for the presentation of the belts was yet to be fixed.
“The Minister of Sports announced that Anthony Joshua will be presenting his belts to the President in a matter of days.
“The Council members also expressed appreciation for the gift of books from the Vice President which has become an annual tradition,’’ he said.
