Anthony Joshua Breaks Silence With Emotional Tribute to Friends Killed in Nigeria Crash

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has shared his first public message since a tragic car accident in Nigeria claimed the lives of two of his closest friends and team members.
The crash occurred on December 29, 2025, on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway when the vehicle carrying Joshua and his associates collided with a stationary truck. While Joshua sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital, strength coach Sina Ghami and personal trainer Latif “Latz” Ayodele were killed in the incident.

On January 4, 2026, Joshua returned to social media with an emotional post featuring him alongside the families of the deceased, captioned: “My Brother’s Keeper.” The post was widely interpreted as a pledge of solidarity and support for the bereaved families as they prepare for the funeral services in London.

Since the accident, tributes have poured in from across the boxing world, with fighters, promoters, and fans expressing condolences and honoring the memories of Ghami and Ayodele. Joshua has also been praised for his compassion in returning to the UK to be with the families during this difficult period.
