Eddie Hearn has given an update on Anthony Joshua, who has returned to training at the gym following a recent tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his close friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
Despite the harrowing incident, Joshua sustained only minor injuries after narrowly escaping death by switching seats before the journey. The former two-time heavyweight champion has been seen back in action, putting on his gloves once again in Dubai.
Hearn, Joshua’s longstanding promoter from Matchroom Boxing, recently met with Joshua and shared a post on Instagram, praising Joshua’s resilience and strength in the face of adversity. He mentioned that Joshua is taking the necessary time to recover and expressed gratitude for the support shown for his departed friends.
Following the accident, there have been uncertainties surrounding Joshua’s future in boxing. Hearn previously stated that Joshua would be taking a significant break from the sport to focus on his recovery.
Hearn emphasized the importance of allowing Joshua the time and space to heal and make decisions at his own pace, acknowledging the gravity of the situation and the impact it has had on everyone involved, especially the families of the deceased.
Joshua has not addressed the ongoing speculations about his boxing career, but he paid a heartfelt tribute to Ayodele and Ghami on social media, acknowledging their significance in his life and expressing gratitude for their presence.
Legal proceedings against Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the accident, are set to resume next week. Kayode faces charges related to the incident, including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid license.
