New evidence suggests the cause of the horrific fatal accident involving the vehicle carrying boxing star Anthony Joshua (36) was the driver's reckless attempt to overtake a vehicle ahead.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 4th (Korea time) that "Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode (46), the driver of Joshua's vehicle, has been indicted and is currently facing trial, and court proceedings have revealed evidence that the accident was caused by Kayode's reckless overtaking attempt."

The accident occurred in December 2025 on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Makun, Nigeria, just ten days after Joshua secured a victory over Jake Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer.

At the time, Joshua and his party were traveling to Ogun State to meet his father. Kayode, who had no personal relationship with Joshua, attempted to recklessly overtake a moving truck and collided with a parked cargo vehicle. All members of Joshua's party were asleep at the time of the accident.

The accident claimed the lives of Joshua's personal trainer, Latif Ayodelle, and strength coach Sina Gami. Joshua was immediately rushed to a hospital and survived.

Kayode currently denies all charges against him. Abubakar Adamu (35), the driver of the cargo vehicle that Kayode's car struck, also completely denied allegations of obstructing traffic.

Christopher Azai Taiwo, an inspector from the Ogun State Traffic Department, testified in court: "When we arrived at the scene, both vehicles had already been removed." He added, "We found a driving logbook, painkillers, and energy drinks near the driver's seat." It was also revealed that police could not obtain Joshua's contact information and have yet to secure his statement. The next hearing is scheduled for the 10th.

Meanwhile, Joshua overcame the severe psychological trauma of losing his friends and made his comeback against Christian Frang in July. He faced a dangerous moment when he was knocked down just 20 seconds into the first round after allowing a punch, but he achieved a triumphant KO victory in the second round, successfully making his comeback.

Joshua entered the ring wearing necklaces bearing the names of the two deceased friends and shed tears immediately after the match to honor them. Earlier this February, he also had their names (LATZ, SINA) tattooed on his forearm.

Joshua shared his feelings: "Although my friends are not by my side, my goal is to support their families and help fulfill their dreams." He added, "It is not just me; the entire team is working together to carry on their legacy."
