Anthony Joshua’s recent car crash in Nigeria has raised concerns about his injuries being more serious than initially believed. The incident occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, leading to the tragic loss of Joshua’s close friends, Kevin Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
Following the crash, the Federal Road Safety Corps of Nigeria released preliminary findings, stating that the collision involved a black Lexus Jeep and a red commercial Sinotruck. Two individuals lost their lives, one sustained injuries, and two others escaped unharmed. Joshua, who suffered minor injuries, was rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment.
Although initially reported as minor, there are now worries about the extent of Joshua’s injuries. Sources close to the former heavyweight champion suggest the possibility of more severe damage, including potential rib and knee injuries.
Witnesses shared a video of Ayodele playing table tennis with Joshua shortly before the accident. The boxing community, including Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn, expressed condolences for the loss of Ayodele and Ghami, highlighting their contributions to the sport.
A statement from Matchroom Boxing confirmed the passing of Ayodele and Ghami, emphasizing Joshua’s stable condition after the accident. The organization urged privacy for all affected parties during this difficult time and refrained from further comments.
