About

Anthony Joshua, a 36-year-old British former heavyweight boxing champion, is currently newsworthy due to a recent car accident in Nigeria. Joshua was injured in the crash, and tragically, two of his team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, were killed. His driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, has been charged with reckless and dangerous driving, including death by dangerous driving, and appeared in court. Joshua has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home. This incident occurred shortly after Joshua's victory over Jake Paul in a heavyweight bout, a loss that resulted in Paul losing his WBA cruiserweight ranking. The crash and subsequent charges against the driver are the primary reasons for Joshua's current media attention.
