Anthony Joshua Opens Up About Car Crash in Nigeria in New Video
Anthony Joshua discussed the fatal car crash that he was involved in near Lagos, Nigeria during a video posted to his YouTube channel on Thursday.
"It's a shame," Joshua said, via TMZ Sports. "What can I say, one day my time will come, and I'm not scared either at all. It's actually comforting knowing I got two brothers on the other side."
Joshua's strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, and his trainer, Latif Ayodele, were both killed in the crash on Dec. 29.
"I've lost people before, but I don't think I've lost people like that -- my left and my right," Joshua said in the video, per TMZ Sports. "I didn't even realize that I'm the big guy, but I was walking with giants man that kept me protected, kept me shielded."
"I'm gonna do what's right by them," he added. "I'm gonna do what's right by their family."
The former two-time unified heavyweight champion also thanked people for how much support he received.
The driver of the car, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, was charged with reckless and dangerous driving, driving without a valid driver's license, driving without due care and attention and causing bodily harm and damage to property, according to ESPN.
The court later adjourned the trial until Feb. 25.
