Anthony Joshua to Return to Boxing After Tragic Accident

Anthony Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight boxing champion, is preparing for a significant return to the ring after a life-altering incident in December 2025. During a trip to Nigeria, Joshua was involved in a car crash that claimed the life of his trainer and a close friend, while he himself sustained only minor injuries.

This tragic event has profoundly impacted Joshua, leading him to contemplate whether he even wanted to continue boxing. However, he has decided to lace up his gloves again, with a return to the sport scheduled for July.

The emotional toll of the accident and the loss of his trainer has been significant, as the boxing community mourns the loss and supports Joshua in his healing process.
