What happened to Joshua in Nigeria
In December 2025, Joshua was involved in a fatal road accident in Nigeria. He survived with bruised ribs, but two people central to his life and career did not make it, The Sun reports.
Childhood friend Latif "Latz" Ayodele and recovery therapist Sina Ghami both died in the crash, leaving a significant void in Joshua's support team.
The former heavyweight champion has had to prepare for Saturday's fight without either of them.
