Anthony Joshua (36), a British boxing hero who was on a roll with an astronomical fight money, finally screamed. Joshua, a close friend and survivor of a car accident who lost two colleagues in front of him, sobbed for the first time in more than a month of the accident.
British media 'The Sun' reported on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) that "Joshua posted an emotional video a month after losing two of his closest friends in a terrible car accident," adding, "He held back tears and conveyed his condition and feelings to fans."
Joshua said on his YouTube channel, "Thank you for the love and support you have sent from all over the world," adding, "Your comfort has been a great help in the tragic time of losing two brothers, Latif Ayodele and Shina Kami."
"We went to our hometown of Nigeria to finish 2025 and meet our families, but everything turned upside down in an instant," Joshua said, recalling the time of the accident. "Not only me, but their family and friends lost two great men. They were the main characters of my life. It's really hard to bear," he said.
Joshua, in the video, continued, trying to hold back the tears that burst out. "They were my brothers and friends, we were family members who lived together," he said. "There have been people who have left me before, but I have never lost people like my left and right arms all at once."
Last December Joshua suffered the greatest tragedy of his life. At the time, personal trainer Ayodele and rehabilitation coach Kami, who had been in the same car for more than a decade, died at the scene when Joshua's vehicle hit a stopped truck.
In particular, according to the UK's 'Daily Mail', Joshua is known to have saved his life because he moved from the passenger seat to the back seat at the driver's request just before the accident. It was a disaster caused by the speeding of an unlicensed driver.
Just 10 days before the accident, Joshua won a hot KO against Jake Paul in a boxing match in Miami, USA, pocketing an astronomical amount of fight money worth about 68 million pounds (about 120 billion won). Joshua is known as a London Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight champion, and Paul has drawn attention as a YouTuber-turned-boxer.
But Joshua vowed not to collapse. Joshua released a video of his personal social networking service (SNS) training 19 days after the accident. In this video, "boxing must continue. I will do the right thing for them and for their families," he said, expressing his willingness to make a comeback.
Joshua then said, "I'm not afraid of death because my time will also come someday. The fact that I have two brothers in the world is rather comforting, he said, adding, "My love goes out to everyone who has lost their son or brother."
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn also said, "Joshua can continue his boxing career to honor his friends."
