Anthony Joshua Returns to Training 19 Days After Fatal Nigeria Crash

Promoter Eddie Hearn says only Joshua will decide his next step.

Overview

  • Joshua shared Snapchat clips of pad work, cycling, pool exercises and lower-body drills, captioning the session "mental strength therapy."
  • The 29 December collision near Lagos involved a Lexus SUV hitting a stationary truck, killing teammates Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, while Joshua sustained minor injuries.
  • He was discharged from hospital and later posted tributes to his friends, whose funerals were held at a London mosque in early January.
  • Hearn told Sky Sports that Joshua will be given time to heal physically and emotionally and that any decision on returning to the ring will come from the fighter himself.
  • Nigerian police have charged driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode with causing death by dangerous driving, with court proceedings underway.
