Anthony Joshua returns to gym following car crash in Nigeria

British heavyweight Anthony Joshua is back in the gym following his recent car crash that killed two of his close friends and team members.

The former world heavyweight champion, 36, suffered minor injuries in the incident in Nigeria on December 29.

Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele died when their vehicle, in which Joshua was a passenger, collided with a stationary truck on the main road near Lagos.

19 days after the accident, Joshua posted a video on Snapchat showing him hitting pads and exercising, with the message “mental strength therapy” underneath one clip.

He defeated Jake Paul in Miami on December 19, 10 days before the accident occurred while he was on vacation in Nigeria.

Last week, he paid tribute to strength and conditioning coach Ghami and his trainer Ayodele. Instagram., external
