Anthony Joshua Posts His First Update After the Accident that Killed Two Friends

  • Anthony Joshua, boxer, was travelling with his team when their vehicle collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos–Ibadan expressway, killing friends Ayodele and Ghami.
  • Court testimony says Joshua moved seats at the vehicle driver's request due to visibility issues, while the truck driver reportedly fled, prompting a manhunt.
  • Joshua, 36, sustained injuries but was released from Duchess International Hospital on Wednesday and visited a funeral home, while Ghami and Ayodele’s bodies were flown to Britain on Friday via Istanbul on a Turkish Airlines cargo flight.
  • Legal developments include a court appearance for Adeniyi, member of Joshua's Nigerian logistics team, who was granted bail on Friday with the case adjourned to January 20; the crash has put Anthony Joshua's expected 2026 fight with Tyson Fury in doubt.
  • Fury's prior retirement after December 2024 frames the fight's uncertain status as Tyson Fury, fellow former world heavyweight champion, posted `2026 is that year` signalling a return.
