Anthony Joshua Makes First Public Appearance Since Crash at Derek Chisora Fight

Joshua made his first public appearance since the deaths of two close friends and backed Derek Chisora in a short DAZN interview.

  • Heavyweight rivals Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder crossed paths at the Arena on Saturday, passing each other in a tight corridor without acknowledgement.
  • Following the death of close friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, Joshua made his first public appearance since attending their funeral; Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn noted Joshua needed time to heal.
  • Joshua attended with Hearn to support fellow Finchley boxer Derek Chisora, whose 50th and final career fight ended in a close decision loss to Wilder.
  • The American offered no friendly greeting to the London heavyweight, walking past Joshua in the corridor without acknowledgement despite their previous world-title bout linkage.
  • Joshua last fought before Christmas, stopping YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami; speculation continues over a potential bout with British rival Tyson Fury.
