Eddie Hearn has given an update on Anthony Joshua, who has made a return to training at the gym following a tragic car accident in Nigeria where he lost two close friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
Despite escaping with minor injuries by swapping seats before the journey, Joshua, a renowned boxing star, was seen back in action at a gym in Dubai this week.
Hearn, Joshua’s long-time promoter with Matchroom Boxing, shared a post on Instagram after meeting with Joshua, praising his resilience and strength. He mentioned that Joshua is taking his time to recover from the loss and is appreciative of the support shown for his late friends.
Since the accident, there have been uncertainties about Joshua’s future in boxing. Hearn previously stated that Joshua would be taking a significant break from the sport.
Hearn emphasized the need to give Joshua the space and time to heal and make decisions about his future. He highlighted that it is a challenging period for Joshua, and any decisions regarding his boxing career will be communicated by the boxer himself.
Joshua has not yet addressed the speculations surrounding his boxing future but recently paid tribute to his departed friends on social media, expressing gratitude for their impact on his life.
Legal proceedings against Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the accident, will resume soon, with charges including causing death by dangerous driving and other driving offenses.
