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 where he lost two close friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
Despite escaping serious harm by switching seats before the journey, Joshua, a renowned boxer, sustained only minor injuries. He has now been sighted back in the gym, resuming his training in Dubai.
Hearn, the longstanding promoter of Joshua under Matchroom Boxing, met with the boxer and shared a post on Instagram expressing admiration for Joshua’s resilience and strength during this challenging time. Hearn emphasized the need for Joshua to take his time to recover fully from the loss.
In the wake of the accident, questions have arisen about Joshua’s future in boxing. Hearn previously mentioned that Joshua would be taking an extended break from the sport. He stressed the importance of allowing Joshua the space and time to make decisions about his career path.
Joshua has not yet addressed the speculation surrounding his boxing future but recently paid tribute to his deceased friends on social media, acknowledging their significance in his life.
Legal proceedings against Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the accident, are set to resume. Kayode faces charges related to dangerous driving and driving without a valid license.
The road to recovery for Joshua continues, with ongoing support and reflection on the tragic loss of his friends.
