Tyson Fury, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, has expressed his condolences following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two members of Anthony Joshua's team and left Joshua injured. The incident occurred on Monday morning on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, with Joshua suffering minor injuries and being taken to the hospital for observation.
Fury posted on Instagram, "This is so sad. May God give them a good bed in heaven," reacting to the news of the accident. Joshua's promoter, Matchroom Boxing, confirmed that Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, Joshua's close friends and team members, lost their lives in the crash ¹ ² ³.
