Anthony Joshua has paid an emotional tribute to his two friends Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele after their death in the fatal car crash near Lagos, Nigeria.

‘AJ’ has returned to the UK ahead of the funerals for close friends Sina Ghami, who served as a strength and conditioning coach, and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, who was also involved in his training team.

Both men died after their vehicle collided with a stationary truck on a major road near Lagos on Monday.

Joshua was left in agony after being hauled out of the vehicle and then received hospital treatment before being discharged on Wednesday.

And the British heavyweight said in a statement: “Thank you for all the love and care you have shown my brothers. I didn’t even realise how special they are. I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men.

“100% it’s tough for me, but I know it’s even tougher for their parents. I have a strong mind, and I believe God knows their hearts. May God have mercy on my brothers.”
