British boxing star Anthony Joshua has spoken publicly for the first time since a devastating car crash in Nigeria on December 29, 2025, that claimed the lives of two close members of his team.
n a video posted on his YouTube channel, Joshua reflected on the deaths of his personal trainer Latif Ayodele and strength coach Sina Ghami, describing them as his “brothers.”
Joshua, who was a passenger during the accident and sustained minor injuries, vowed to honour their memory and continue supporting their families.
“I know what I have got to do. I’m going to do what is right by them,” he said, visibly emotional.
The fighter offered little insight into his boxing future but emphasised the importance of continuing their shared mission.
Promoter Eddie Hearn assured that Joshua would be given time to grieve before making career decisions.
