Anthony Joshua pays emotional tribute to departed friends

Moments after his discharge from the hospital late on New Year’s Eve, boxing superstar Anthony Joshua was driven to the funeral home where his two friends and aides were kept to pay them emotional respects.

Kevin Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, both 36, were killed after the Lexus SUV they were all travelling in ran into a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Sagamu, Ogun State, on Monday.

There is fear in his camp about how the boxing star will deal with the trauma of losing the two close friends, according to the Daily Mail of London.

Mobolaji Kayode, who drove the ill- fated Lexus, was yesterday arraigned before a Magistrate’s Court in Sagamu for reckless driving.

Kayode, 46, was arrested by the police shortly after he was discharged from a private hospital in Lagos on Wednesday, where he had received medical care following the accident.

Joshua’s associate, Kolawole Omoboriowo, who  broke the news of the accident to the boxer’s family, is worried about getting AJ, as he is fondly called, “out of that traumatised situation?”
