Anthony Joshua Breaks Silence, Honors Two Team Members Killed in Nigeria Crash

His tribute comes as the charged driver awaits a January 20 court hearing in a still-unresolved investigation.

Overview

  • Joshua posted an emotional message calling Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele his brothers and thanked supporters for their condolences.
  • He has returned to the UK and attended funeral services in London after being discharged with minor injuries from the December 29 collision near Lagos.
  • Driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and related offenses, granted bail of 5,000,000 naira, and is due back in court on January 20.
  • Officials have issued differing preliminary accounts of the cause, with the road safety corps citing speed and an overtaking attempt and police later pointing to a burst tyre, while other claims reference possible brake failure.
  • UFC star Kamaru Usman apologized for briefly posting a recorded FaceTime conversation with Joshua, acknowledging the release of the private video was his mistake.
