British boxer Anthony Joshua has been injured and two of his team members have been killed in a car crash near Lagos in Nigeria according to promoter Matchroom Boxing.
The two associates, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, were also close friends of Joshua.
Joshua has lost two people close to him, friends first and foremost, including his long-time strength and conditioning coach Ghami, and the emotional impact of that is impossible to measure.
Ghami was by his side throughout fight week in Miami, and joined him in the ring after his win over Paul.
The plan had been for Joshua to fight again in Saudi Arabia in February before eventually moving towards the long-talked-about Tyson Fury bout later in 2026. But right now, those plans feel secondary.
Matchroom also says the boxer is in a stable condition and will remain in Nigeria for observation.
