Anthony Joshua recently attended a significant event at the O2 Arena in London. This marked his first public appearance following the tragic deaths of his close friends Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele. Both men lost their lives in a car crash that occurred in Nigeria on December 29.
Joshua Supports Chisora’s Farewell Fight
Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, arrived to support fellow boxer Derek Chisora in what was Chisora’s 50th and final fight. Chisora faced Deontay Wilder, an opponent with whom Joshua has a complicated history, having been previously linked to a potential title bout.
In a white tracksuit, Joshua appeared poised as he walked to the arena alongside Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn. Despite their past rivalry, Wilder walked past Joshua without any acknowledgment as they passed each other in a narrow corridor.
Joshua’s Recent Activities
Since the deaths of Ghami and Ayodele, Joshua has maintained a low profile. He attended their funeral and has taken time to heal, as reiterated by Hearn. His last fight took place before Christmas, where he defeated YouTuber Jake Paul in Miami.
Future Speculations
As Joshua continues to recover personally, there is ongoing speculation surrounding a potential future match against boxing star Tyson Fury. The boxing community eagerly anticipates any developments regarding his next bout.
