Anthony Joshua Pays Tribute to Deceased Friends

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has made his first social media post since a fatal car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends and team members.

Joshua sustained minor injuries in the incident that killed his friends, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, on Monday, December 29, on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

The 36-year-old boxer, who was discharged from the hospital on New Year’s Eve, returned to the United Kingdom on Saturday.

He made his first public comment since the accident in a post across his social media handle on Sunday.

The image, posted across his social media pages, showed the ex-heavyweight champion offering support and solidarity.

Both Sina and Latz will be laid to rest later on Sunday.
