Nigeria 🇳🇬: Boxing Star Anthony Joshua is Devastated by Fatal Accident in Nigeria that Claimed Close Friends. (video )
Anthony Joshua the former two-time heavyweight champion has officially stopped his silence after a car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his close personal friends.
The event, that took place earlier this week has rocked the boxing community and the inner circle of the athlete. Although the exact cause of the crash is still under investigation by the local authorities, it is established that two passengers, who were long time associates of the British-Nigerian fighter died at the rate of their injuries.
In a short yet emotional post that was made through his social media outlets, Joshua outlined the immense sorrow he and his family are having to endure.
"I am devastated," Joshua wrote. It hurts me more to lose people who have always been by my side in the good times and the bad times than I can explain. They were not friends only, but brothers. I sympathize with their families through this inconceivable period.
The story has caused a call of support by other sportspeople and fans across the world. According to the promoters and colleagues, Joshua has been resilient in that he has always found a deep connection in Nigeria and has been visiting the country often to do charity and spend time with his loved ones.
The Joshua representatives have demanded that the boxer and the bereaved families be given privacy to make the funeral arrangements. It remains uncertain how such a tragedy will affect the further training pattern of Joshua who had been looking to come back into the ring later this year.
At this point, the "heavyweight of the world" is concentrating on a far more personal fight: the act of bidding adieu to those who saw him when every one of his boxers left him.
