In a heartbreaking turn of events, Anthony Joshua has been involved in a devastating car crash in Nigeria, leaving him with minor injuries while tragically claiming the lives of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele. The accident occurred on the LagosāIbadan Expressway, and the boxing champion was swiftly rushed to hospital.
The world is rallying around Joshua as his promoter Eddie Hearn shared that “AJ” is en route to recovery but couldn’t give further details. Tributes have poured in for the beloved companions lost in this tragedy. Among them is Tyson Fury, Joshua’s long-time rival, who took to Instagram to express his sympathy saying, “This is so sad. May god give them a good bed in heaven,” urging everyone to “live, love, and give.”
Despite initial reports downplaying the severity of Joshua’s injuries, concerns over his condition have grown. Insiders suggest potential rib and knee damage, intensifying the already profound emotional toll of losing two cherished friends, both instrumental in his career. Sina, a strength and conditioning coach, was a constant in Joshua’s corner.
Scores of fans, friends, and family gathered to pay their respects at Evolve Gym in north-west London, owned by the late Ghami. This outpouring of love shows the depth of their connection to Joshua, who now faces the daunting challenge of moving forward after such immense loss.
We stand with Joshua and everyone affected by this tragic event. š¹
