Nigerian-British boxer, Anthony Joshua, has said losing two of his close friends in a car crash is “tough” for him.
Joshua survived the road accident which happened on December 29 along the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway and claimed the lives of his friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele. ‘
In a post shared on Instagram on Thursday, the boxer described the loss as deeply painful, while noting that the impact was even greater on the families of the deceased.
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.”
Following the incident, Joshua is reportedly weighing the possibility of retiring from professional boxing.
