Following a deadly automobile accident in Nigeria that killed two members of Anthony Joshua’s crew and injured the British boxer, former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury extended his condolences. The collision happened on Monday morning in southwest Nigeria along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.Two of Joshua’s “close friends and team members, Sina Ghami and Latif, were taken to the hospital for checks and treatment,” according to his promoter. 00:01 03:11 10 seconds Fury responded to the event by writing on his Instagram page, “This is so sad.”God bless them with a comfortable bed in heaven. His statement was sent soon after he posted a picture of himself with one of his sons and nephews wearing T-shirts that said, “I’m back,” reigniting rumors that he might return to boxing.Joshua, a British citizen of Nigerian descent, had earlier criticized Fury after defeating YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul via sixth-round knockout in a fight sponsored by Netflix in Miami last month. However, it is anticipated that Monday’s tragedy will further postpone any possible “Battle of Britain” confrontation.Paul responded on social media as well, writing on X that “life is much more important than boxing.” I’m praying for AJ, the others affected by today’s terrible accident, and the lives lost.
