Anthony Joshua‘s friend Latif Ayodele released a video showing the heartbreaking final moments before the crash that resulted in two deaths. Joshua was a passenger in a car that officials believe collided with a stationary lorry in Nigeria. He was injured in the collision and is said to be in a stable condition in hospital, where he is being kept under close observation.

Shortly after the crash, footage on social media showed the boxer grimacing in pain as he was helped out of the wreckage. Another video appeared to show Joshua being led into a police car after being led away from the scene of the accident. Now, a heartbreaking clip posted on social media by Ayodele, who died in the crash, has emerged.

One video, which was shared on Snapchat, showed Ayodele approaching the Lexus involved in the crash. He was accompanied by Sina Ghami, another member of Joshua’s team who was also killed in the accident.

A second clip showed the car driving across a bridge before the fatal crash. A representative for Joshua confirmed that Ayodele and Ghami had died in an emotional statement on Monday evening.

It read: “It is with the deepest and most profound sadness that we confirm, following a road traffic accident in Lagos, Nigeria earlier today, the death of Sina Ghami and Kevin [Latif] Ayodele.

“Both were close friends and integral members of Anthony’s team. We respectfully ask that space and privacy be given to the families at this time while they process this truly shocking and devastating news.”

Another statement released by the Federal Road Safety Corps of Nigeria detailed their initial findings after the crash.

They stated: “The incident involved two vehicles: a black Lexus Jeep and a stationary red commercial Sinotruck with unknown registration number.

“A total of five adult males were involved in the crash. Two persons sadly lost their lives, one sustained injuries, while two others escaped unhurt. Anthony Joshua was rescued alive and sustained minor injuries.

“The injured victim was evacuated for medical attention, while the remains of the deceased were conveyed to Livewell Morgue, Ajaka, Sagamu.

“The Nigeria Police Motor Traffic Division (MTD) was duly notified for further investigation and necessary documentation.”

Details from the crash are still emerging, with Joshua’s promoters Matchroom releasing a statement of their own on Monday night.

The statement read: “Anthony Joshua was involved in a road traffic accident in Lagos, Nigeria, earlier today.

“With profound sadness it has been confirmed that two close friends and team members Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele have tragically passed away.

“Matchroom Boxing and 258 BXG can confirm that Anthony sustained injuries in the accident and was taken to hospital for checks and treatment. He is in a stable condition and will remain there for observation.

“”Our deepest condolences and prayers are with the families and friends of all those affected – and we ask that their privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time. No further comment will be made at this time.”
