Eddie Hearn updates on Anthony Joshua, who has returned to training following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends. Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries in the incident but narrowly escaped more serious harm by changing seats before the journey. This week, the former heavyweight champion was seen back in the gym in Dubai, putting on his gloves once again.
Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter at Matchroom Boxing, recently met with Joshua and shared a post on Instagram expressing admiration for Joshua’s resilience and strength during this challenging time. Hearn emphasized that Joshua is taking the necessary time to cope with the loss of his friends and appreciate the support he has received.
The future of Joshua’s boxing career remains uncertain following the accident, with Hearn acknowledging that Joshua will require an extended period away from the sport. Hearn emphasized the importance of allowing Joshua the space and time to heal and make decisions on his own terms.
Joshua has yet to address speculation about his boxing future but paid tribute to his friends on social media, expressing gratitude for their presence in his life. The legal proceedings against the driver responsible for the accident, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, are set to resume shortly, with charges including causing death by dangerous driving and other related offenses.
