Boxing Champ Joshua Survives Fatal Wreck
1 Jan
Summary
- Two of Anthony Joshua's friends and trainers died.
- Joshua survived the crash with minor injuries.
- A burst tire may have caused the fatal accident.
Tragedy struck earlier this week when boxer Anthony Joshua was involved in a severe car accident that claimed the lives of two of his closest friends and trainers, Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele. Joshua, a former two-time Heavyweight champion, was a passenger in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries. He was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, and is now recovering at home.
The incident occurred when the vehicle Joshua was traveling in collided with a stationary truck. Initial reports indicate that a burst front passenger-side tire may have caused the car to lose control. Authorities are also investigating the driver of the truck for fleeing the scene and the driver of Joshua's vehicle for potential reckless driving charges.
In the wake of the devastating loss, a significant outpouring of support has been shown for the victims' families. More than $180,000 has been raised in honor of Kevin Ayodele, with funds designated for the construction of a mosque in his memory, reflecting the profound impact he had on his community.
