Tears As Anthony Joshua’s Associates Are Buried In London

By Akinwale Kasali

Anthony Joshua, Former World Boxing Heavyweight Champion, could not hold back tears as his friends and associates were buried yesterday in London, United Kingdom, after the ill-fated car crash in Makun, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,  led to their untimely death.

It was a sad gathering in London as family and friends assembled for the Janaza (funeral) prayer service for Sina Ghami and Abdul Latif Kevin Ayodele.

The service began at 10am at the London Central Mosque, 146 Park Road, London NW8 7RG.

A wake for the pair was also held at Cavendish Banqueting Hall in North West London, then after, the funeral for Ghami took place at Hendon Cemetery and Crematorium.

The bodies of Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele were repatriated to the United Kingdom following the fatal crash in Nigeria.

Ghami and Ayodele tragically died in a road crash in Nigeria late last year, on Monday December 29, 2025, where Joshua was also involved but escaped with minor injuries.

Joshua had traveled back to UK on Saturday to attend the Burial of Kevin Latif Ayodele, his personal trainer, and Sina Ghami, his strength and conditioning coach, and also visited their families.

Joshua couldn’t hold back tears as his friends were committed to Mother Earth.
