Renowned heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has returned to the United Kingdom following a fatal auto crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his close associates.
Recall that the car conveying him last Monday rammed into a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The former world heavyweight champion’s personal trainer, Kevin Latif Ayodele, and his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, died in the accident.
The Nigeria-born British boxer survived the crash after sustaining minor injuries and was taken to a hospital in Lagos.
He was, however, discharged from a Nigerian hospital on New Year’s Eve.
Meanwhile, the funerals for Ghami and Ayodele are scheduled to be held at a London mosque on Sunday.
The police confirmed that Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and operating a vehicle without a valid licence.
