Eddie Hearn recently updated on Anthony Joshua, who has resumed training at the gym following the tragic loss of two close friends in a car accident. Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries in a collision in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
The boxing star managed to survive by changing seats before the journey. He was seen back in the gym in Dubai this week, putting on his gloves once again. Hearn, Joshua’s long-time promoter from Matchroom Boxing, met with Joshua and shared a post on Instagram, praising Joshua’s resilience and strength during this difficult time.
Hearn mentioned that Joshua will take the necessary time to recover and expressed gratitude for the support shown for his late friends. There has been uncertainty surrounding Joshua’s future in boxing since the accident, with Hearn indicating that Joshua will take a significant break from the sport.
Hearn emphasized the need to give Joshua space and time to heal from the traumatic incident, highlighting the importance of allowing Joshua to make his own decisions about his boxing career. Joshua has not yet addressed the speculation regarding his future in the sport but previously paid tribute to Ayodele and Ghami on social media.
Additionally, legal proceedings against Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the accident, are set to resume on Tuesday. Kayode faces charges related to the fatal crash. For more boxing and MMA news, including interviews and fight insights, visit www.alloutfighting.com.
