Anthony Joshua has shared his first social media message following a serious car accident in Nigeria that tragically claimed the lives of two of his close friends. The British boxer, aged 36, was traveling as a passenger in a Lexus SUV when it crashed into a stationary truck on a busy expressway near Lagos.
Among those who died in the incident were Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, both close companions and members of Joshua’s team. Their funerals were held at a mosque in London on Sunday, where family and friends gathered to pay their respects. After the crash, Joshua was hospitalized but released on Wednesday, returning to the United Kingdom over the weekend.
On Sunday morning, Joshua posted two photographs on Instagram. One image depicted him sitting alongside his mother and the families of the victims, including the mothers of Ghami and Ayodele. One person in the photo was holding a picture of Ghami. The caption he included with the post simply read, “My Brothers Keeper.”

The case has been scheduled to continue on 20 January.
