Anthony Joshua fulfilled his promise to support the families of his late friends by attending a gathering dedicated to mothers over the weekend. Following a tragic car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his strength and conditioning coach Sina Ghami and personal trainer Latif “Latz” Ayodele, the former heavyweight champion made a heartfelt speech at the event, expressing gratitude for the mothers of his friends and acknowledging the interconnected nature of their relationships.
Despite recovering from the crash, Joshua is back in training and gearing up for a potential return to the ring later in the summer. Speculations about a fight with Dillian Whyte have surfaced, but a much-anticipated bout with Tyson Fury seems to be on the horizon. According to boxing journalist Gareth A Davies, the Fury-Joshua fight has been confirmed behind the scenes and is expected to be broadcast on Netflix either late this year or in the next.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that the original plan for Joshua to fight Fury in August has been postponed due to Joshua’s physical condition. He is now set to make a comeback in late summer, with a potential Fury fight likely towards the end of the year or early the following year. The boxing world eagerly awaits the showdown between these two heavyweight titans.
