Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has paid an emotional tribute to his friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, who lost their lives in a car crash in Nigeria on December 29.
Joshua, a passenger in the vehicle, survived the accident and expressed his grief on social media.
In a post on X, Joshua expressed his shock and sorrow, stating that it’s tough for him, but even tougher for their parents.
He thanked those who supported the families, reflecting on the special bond he shared with his friends.
He wrote, “Thank you for all the love and care you have shown my brothers. I didn’t even realise how special they are. I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men.
“100% it’s tough for me, but I know it’s even tougher for their parents. I have a strong mind, and I believe God knows their hearts. May God have mercy on my brothers.”
Joshua recently opened up about the tragedy, revealing the loss still hasn’t sunk in.
Before their deaths, Ghami was his strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was his personal trainer.
