Anthony Joshua: First Interview After Accident | Boxing News

Two photos, three words, three emojis: plunged into silence since the fatal road accident which he survived, and which cost the lives of two of his collaborators and close friends in Nigeria, the English boxer Anthony Joshua resurfaced this Sunday on Instagram.

Victorious over influencer Jake Paul a few days before the tragedy, which took place on December 29, Anthony Joshua spent a few days in hospital in Lagos before returning to the United Kingdom. It is in a mosque in London that the funerals of Sina Ghami and Kevin Latif Ayodele, respectively Joshua’s physical trainer and personal coach, will take place this Sunday.

My brothers keeper (“the keeper of my brothers”, an expression inspired by a passage from Genesis), writes Joshua, in the caption of two photos where we see him with his mother and other women, one of whom carries with her the portrait of Sina Ghami.

On Friday, the driver of the SUV that transported Joshua and his two friends was charged. Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, aged 46, is accused of “dangerous driving causing death”, “driving without a valid license”, “driving without due care and attention causing bodily harm and property damage”, and “reckless driving”, Oluseyi Babeseyu, a police spokesperson for Ogun state (southwest), told AFP.
