The future of Anthony Joshua's boxing career hangs in the balance, as his promoter, Eddie Hearn, reveals that the British heavyweight may never fight again. The tragic car crash that claimed the lives of two of Joshua's closest friends has left him with physical injuries and emotional scars. While Joshua has been seen back in the gym, working out and hitting pads, Hearn emphasizes that this does not necessarily indicate a return to the ring. Joshua's strength coach, Sina Ghami, and personal trainer, Latif 'Latz' Ayodele, were killed in the accident near Lagos at the end of December. Joshua narrowly escaped death, and he spent New Year in hospital. Hearn acknowledges that Joshua's injuries will take time to recover, and he is not yet ready to discuss a return to training or fighting. Joshua's long-term rival, Tyson Fury, was linked with a potential fight earlier this year, but negotiations have been put on hold. Hearn notes that Joshua's dedication to boxing is unwavering, but the promoter is cautious about his client's future in the sport. Joshua's social media posts reflect his grief and appreciation for his friends, and he has been recuperating at his mansion since returning to London. As Joshua's journey continues, the boxing world awaits further updates on his recovery and future in the sport.
