Tyson Fury has finally spoken out following the recent car accident involving his longtime adversary Anthony Joshua in Nigeria. Joshua, aged 36, was hospitalized with ‘minor’ injuries after a tragic crash that claimed the lives of two of his close companions. Witnesses at the scene provided assistance as Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, was helped out of the wreckage in visible distress.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s longstanding promoter, confirmed that Joshua was safe and en route to the hospital but could not share further details. The incident occurred on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway near Sagamu, Ogun State, leading to an outpouring of condolences. Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele lost their lives in the crash involving Joshua, who was a passenger in their black Lexus Jeep that collided with a stationary red commercial Sinotruck.

In response to the tragic news, Fury expressed his condolences via Instagram, mourning the loss of Ghami and Ayodele. Concerns have been raised about Joshua’s injuries, suggesting the possibility of more severe damage than initially reported. The emotional toll of witnessing the deaths of his friends, who played significant roles in his career, adds to the challenges Joshua faces in his recovery.

Tributes left outside the gym owned by Ghami, where Joshua trained, underscore the impact of the heartbreaking incident. The future of Joshua’s boxing career remains uncertain as he grapples with the aftermath of the crash and the loss of his friends. Despite previous taunts and discussions of a potential match between Fury and Joshua, the focus now shifts to Joshua’s well-being and his path forward in the sport.
