Anthony Joshua Issues First Public Tribute to Friends Killed in Nigeria Crash
Anthony Joshua honored his two friends who died in a December crash by pledging to support their families and continue their goals, thanking worldwide fans for their support.
- On Jan 29, Anthony Joshua broke his silence with a YouTube tribute, describing Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele as his 'brothers' after the December crash in Nigeria.
- On Dec 29, an SUV carrying five people struck a parked truck on the Lagos–Ibadan expressway, killing Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele while Joshua sustained minor injuries.
- Speaking directly to fans, Joshua held back tears describing Ghami and Ayodele as 'brothers' and pledged to 'do what's right by their family' while thanking supporters.
- Their funerals were held on January 4 at a mosque in London, and a chauffeur appeared in court on January 20 charged with four offences while defence lawyer Olalekan Abiodun claimed brake malfunction.
- Joshua said the 'mission must go on' and indicated he may continue boxing as a tribute, but the crash weeks after beating Jake Paul leaves the Tyson Fury fight, who returns April 11, uncertain.
