Tragedy struck on Monday as news broke of a fatal car crash involving boxing star Anthony Joshua in Nigeria. The accident sadly claimed the lives of two of his team-mates, Kevin Ayodele (known as Latz) and Sina Ghami. Both were integral parts of Joshua’s crew, with Ayodele serving as his personal trainer and Ghami as his strength and conditioning coach.
The incident occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Reports indicate that a black Lexus SUV, carrying Joshua, hit a stationary lorry while allegedly attempting an overtaking manoeuvre at an unsafe speed. Joshua, though hospitalised, thankfully only sustained minor injuries, while the other two passengers escaped unharmed.
