\n\n\nAnthony Joshua \u2018stable\u2019 after Nigeria car crash that killed two team members
\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAnthony Joshua’s uncle has claimed the former world champion has informed his family he will retire following the fatal car crash which killed two of his close friends.<\/p>\n
The former two-time heavyweight world champion was a passenger in the Lexus SUV which collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway near Lagos, Nigeria last week. Tragically, the crash claimed the lives of Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele. Their funerals took place on Sunday at a mosque in London.<\/p>\n
Before attending the funeral, ‘AJ’ posted two images on Instagram on Sunday, sitting alongside his mother and three other women, one of whom clutched a photograph of Ghami. The British boxing star captioned the post \u2018My Brothers Keeper\u2019.<\/p>\n
Just days after the fatal incident, the Brit is weighing up his options and is seriously considering calling it a day. According to reports, Joshua made the decision ‘known to his family in private’ following last week\u2019s crash in Nigeria. \u201cThe major thing there is that he has retired from boxing. That is one thing that makes us glad because each time he\u2019s fighting in the ring, we are always carried away emotionally,\u201d Adedamola Joshua told The Punch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
