The boxing community is in deep mourning following the tragic Anthony Joshua team death, as the two individuals killed in today’s car crash in Ogun State have been identified as his closest friends and coaches.
The victims of the fatal collision on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are Sina “Evolve” Ghami, Joshua’s long-time strength and conditioning coach, and Kevin “Latz” Ayodele (popularly known as Healthy_Mindset), his personal trainer and best friend. The pair had only just arrived in Nigeria to join the former heavyweight champion for a New Year holiday following his victory over Jake Paul.
Tragically, this Anthony Joshua team death occurred just hours after Latz shared a final video on Instagram of himself and Joshua playing table tennis. Reports from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) suggest the Lexus SUV lost control during an overtaking maneuver and struck a stationary truck. While Joshua, who was seated in the back, survived with minor injuries, his “brothers” in the front seats died on impact.
Promoter Eddie Hearn and fellow boxers like Jake Paul and Chris Eubank Jr. have shared emotional tributes, describing the duo as “genuinely good men” who were instrumental to Joshua’s career success. The loss marks a devastating end to the year for the boxer, as the Anthony Joshua team death leaves a void in his inner circle that many say is irreplaceable.
