It's a lot of mental strength. Anthony Joshua (36, England), who miraculously survived the tragic car accident that lost two colleagues in front of him, returned to the gym 19 days after the accident.

British media 'BBC' reported on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) that "Joshua resumed training 19 days after losing his close friend and two teammates in a car accident in Nigeria."

Joshua reportedly posted a video of him sweating while playing sandbags on his personal social network service (SNS). Joshua emphasized his focus on exercising by writing the phrase "treatment for strengthening mental strength" at the bottom of the video.

Earlier on the 29th of last month, Joshua had a terrible car accident on the road near Lagos, Nigeria. At the time, personal trainer Latif Ayodele and rehabilitation coach Sina Kami, who were in the vehicle, were killed at the scene when Joshua's vehicle hit a stopped truck.

Joshua reportedly saved his life thanks to moving his seat just before the accident, adding to the shock. According to the British media Daily Mail, the driver asked Joshua, a giant sitting in the passenger seat, to move to the back seat to secure a view of the side mirror at the time of the accident. When Joshua moved, Ayodele sat there, and the accident occurred immediately afterwards, and the shock was concentrated on the passenger seat, making life and death separate. Even the driver was found to have caused an accident while speeding without a license.

Joshua, who managed to save his life, suffered only minor injuries, but the trauma of losing his companions for more than a decade was great. Last week, he posted on social media, "I didn't realize how special they were. I thank God for allowing me to be with great people, he said. "I'm having a hard time, but their parents will be harder."

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has announced that he will not rush Joshua's return through "Sky Sports" in the UK. "Joshua needs time to recover physically, mentally and emotionally before deciding on his future," Hearn said. "He will want to return to the ring, but he will make the decision himself at the right time."

"The only conversation we can have now is to say hello," he said, adding, "We will give Joshua enough time to heal."

Joshua, a former super-heavyweight gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics, won a sixth round KO in a boxing match against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami 10 days before the accident, pocketing about 68 million pounds (120 billion won). However, even before enjoying the joy of victory, he is having a hard time going through a tragic accident.
