Anthony Joshua’s uncle has stated that the former world champion has shared his intention to retire after a tragic car accident that claimed the lives of two close friends. The incident occurred when Joshua was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that collided with a stationary truck on a major expressway near Lagos, Nigeria. The victims, Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, were laid to rest in London following the accident.

In the aftermath of the crash, Joshua, also known as ‘AJ,’ posted photos on Instagram with his family before attending the funerals. Reports indicate that Joshua has privately revealed his decision to retire from boxing due to the emotional toll it takes on his family every time he steps into the ring.

While there were initial claims of Joshua’s retirement, Mirror Fighting reports that the boxer has not yet made a final decision about his future. The driver involved in the accident has been charged with various offenses related to the crash and is currently on bail pending further legal proceedings.

Joshua, who recently returned to the UK after the incident, had been in Nigeria following a boxing match victory. The tragic accident has cast doubt on his future in the sport, with uncertainties surrounding his mental state and physical recovery. Despite his successful boxing career, including iconic victories and title defenses, the recent events have raised questions about Joshua’s next steps in the sport.
