British boxing champion Anthony Joshua fulfilled his promise to support the families of his two close friends who tragically died in a car crash. Following a victorious fight in December, Joshua was involved in a devastating car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, and personal trainer, Latif “Latz” Ayodele.
In a heartfelt gesture, Joshua attended a gathering honoring mothers, where he was seen dancing with the mothers of his late friends. During a poignant speech at the event, Joshua expressed his gratitude for the support and memories shared with his departed friends and their families.
As Joshua continues to recover from the accident, he is back in training and is anticipated to return to the ring later this summer. Speculation surrounds a potential matchup with fellow boxer Dillian Whyte, with the prospect of a future bout against Tyson Fury on the horizon.
Reports from boxing journalist Gareth A Davies suggest that a showdown between Fury and Joshua has been agreed upon and will be broadcast live on Netflix. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, indicated that while a fight with Fury is possible, Joshua is likely to return to the ring in late summer, with a potential match against Fury scheduled for later in the year or early the next year.
