Anthony Joshua Honors Late Friends with Memorial Tattoos

British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua paid tribute to his late friends, Sina Ghami and Ayodel, by getting memorial tattoos after a car crash in Ogun State. The accident occurred on December 29, 2025, when a Lexus jeep carrying Joshua's associates collided with a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Joshua, who was in the vehicle at the time, sustained injuries and later returned to the United Kingdom for treatment. Despite the devastating loss, he attended the funerals of Ghami, his strength and conditioning coach, and Ayodel, his trainer.

The crash sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria and beyond, with fans and colleagues expressing their condolences. Joshua shared images of the tattoo artwork on Instagram, marking his first visit to the studio since the tragic event.

Both Ghami and Ayodel played significant roles in Joshua's career, and their loss has deeply affected the boxing community.
