Anthony Joshua honored his pledge by dancing with the mothers of his two late friends who perished in a tragic car accident. Shortly after triumphing in a knockout fight against Jake Paul, Joshua was involved in a devastating car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, and personal trainer, Latif “Latz” Ayodele.
Following the heart-wrenching incident, the former two-time heavyweight world champion vowed to offer lifelong support to the families of his deceased friends. Joshua fulfilled his commitment by attending a special event dedicated to mothers over the weekend, where he was seen dancing with the moms of his departed friends.
During the gathering, Joshua expressed his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of celebrating loved ones, both present and departed. He acknowledged the role of the mothers in his life and thanked them for their support and care over the years.
Despite still recovering from the crash, Joshua is back in training and is anticipated to make a comeback to the ring later in the summer. Speculation surrounds a potential match with Dillian Whyte, with the prospect of a showdown with Tyson Fury on the horizon.
Boxing journalist Gareth A Davies disclosed that both Fury and Joshua have agreed to a bout, which is reportedly confirmed behind the scenes. The highly anticipated fight is expected to be broadcast live on Netflix, possibly by the end of the year or early next year.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, provided an update on the boxer’s future plans, indicating that a fight with Fury is in the cards but likely to happen towards the end of the year or in early 2027. Hearn emphasized the need for Joshua to recover fully before returning to the ring, with potential matchups being explored for his comeback in the coming months.
