Eddie Hearn has shared an update on Anthony Joshua, who has returned to training at the gym following a tragic car accident in Nigeria where he lost two close friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
Despite the harrowing incident, Joshua only sustained minor injuries after swapping seats just before the journey began. Recently, the former two-time heavyweight champion was spotted back in action at a gym in Dubai.
Hearn, Joshua’s long-time promoter at Matchroom Boxing, met with Joshua and posted on Instagram, highlighting Joshua’s resilience and strength during this challenging time.
The future of Joshua’s boxing career remains uncertain following the accident. Hearn previously mentioned that Joshua would be taking an extended break from the sport to recover.
Hearn emphasized the importance of giving Joshua the space and time he needs to heal and make decisions regarding his future in boxing. He expressed confidence that Joshua will eventually make his own choices and that his recovery process will be supported in various ways.
Joshua has not addressed the speculations surrounding his boxing career yet but paid a heartfelt tribute to his departed friends on social media. He acknowledged the difficulty of the situation and expressed gratitude for the support received.
Legal proceedings against Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the accident, are set to resume on Tuesday. Kayode faces charges related to the incident, including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid license.
