Eddie Hearn: Only Anthony Joshua Will Decide His Boxing Future After Fatal Nigeria Crash

The promoter deems talk of future fights premature.

Overview

  • Joshua was a passenger in a Dec. 29 crash on the LagosIbadan Expressway in Nigeria that killed team members Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
  • Hearn says Joshua will take considerable time away from the ring to heal physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually before making any decision.
  • Joshua sustained minor injuries, returned to the UK, and posted a tribute to his friends earlier this month.
  • Speculation about potential opponents, including Tyson Fury, continues, but Hearn insists any announcement will come only from Joshua when he is ready.
  • Nigerian police have charged driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode with dangerous driving causing death, with legal proceedings ongoing.
