Anthony Joshua vows to be 'good soldier' for parents of friends killed in car crash in Nigeria
- On Monday, Anthony Joshua discussed coping with the deaths of friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele six months after a fatal December crash in Nigeria, confirming he remains focused on boxing.
- Just 10 days after Joshua defeated YouTuber Jake Paul in Miami, the motorway accident occurred in Nigeria, leaving the former world heavyweight champion injured and claiming the lives of Ghami and Ayodele.
- Describing boxing as his "purpose," Joshua rejected retirement and manages the emotional toll by focusing on parents, stating, "I make it about the mums and the dads of the two boys."
- Preparing for a planned clash against Tyson Fury, Joshua will fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 as a warm-up bout for the heavyweight's return to the ring.
- Before their anticipated meeting, Fury aims to emulate the Briton by taking a warm-up fight, with organizers suggesting the main event could occur at London's Wembley Stadium in October or November.
