Former world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, has paid a condolence visit to the families of two close associates who lost their lives in a tragic car accident in Nigeria, reaffirming his sense of responsibility and solidarity in the aftermath of the incident.
The fatal crash, which occurred on December 29 along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, claimed the lives of two key members of Joshua’s professional team while leaving the boxer with minor injuries.
The deceased were identified as Kevin Latif Ayodele, Joshua’s long-time personal trainer, and Sina Ghami, his strength and conditioning coach both regarded as integral figures in his boxing career and inner circle.
In the days following the incident, Joshua maintained a period of silence as he privately processed the loss and supported those most directly affected by the tragedy.
On Sunday, the former heavyweight champion broke that silence by sharing a heartfelt message across his social media platforms, marking his first public response since the accident.
He accompanied the post with solemn photographs showing him standing alongside the bereaved families of Ayodele and Ghami during his condolence visit.
The images reflected a moment of shared grief and quiet strength, underscoring Joshua’s personal connection to the families and the depth of the loss.
In a brief but powerful caption, Joshua wrote, “My Brother’s Keeper,” a statement widely interpreted as a pledge of ongoing support and loyalty beyond professional ties.
The gesture has drawn widespread sympathy and commendation, with many observers noting that Joshua’s actions reflect leadership, compassion, and a deep sense of accountability during a profoundly difficult period.
