Tyson Fury has shared his condolences following the death of two close friends of Anthony Joshua in a road accident in Nigeria.
Local reports emerged yesterday morning that Joshua survived the collision with minor injuries, but that two other passengers in his vehicle died. They were then named Sina Ghami and Kevin ‘Latif’ Ayodeleclose friends of the two-time heavyweight champion and key members of his team.
The boxing world mourns their passing, with public messages from Chris Eubank Jr and Badou Jack. Fury has now shared his own words of sympathy.
Posting on Instagram, he wrote:
“It’s so sad. May God give them a good bed in heaven.”
Fury and Joshua were scheduled to fight in September 2026 after interim bouts for each, but in the wake of this tragedy, any talk of the long-awaited matchup is secondary as Joshua recovers and mourns the loss of his friends.
Former unified heavyweight champion and opponent of both men, Wladimir Klitschko, also addressed the devastating circumstances, saying:
“Having had the pleasure of engaging in an unforgettable battle with AJ, I have always considered him a true class entertainer who commands my utmost respect. My heart goes out to him and I wish him and his loved ones all the best during this difficult time.”
Boxing News extends its condolences to the families and loved ones of Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, and wishes Anthony Joshua a full recovery during this difficult time.
