Eddie Hearn Expects Anthony Joshua to Fight Again After Crash (2026)

Eddie Hearn, the promoter of British heavyweight Anthony Joshua, believes the boxer will return to the ring despite a recent tragedy. Joshua, a two-time world champion, suffered minor injuries in a road accident in Nigeria on December 29th, which tragically took the lives of two close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele. Despite the emotional turmoil, Joshua resumed training in January, sharing a video of his workout with the message 'mental strength therapy'. Hearn, who has been promoting Joshua since his professional debut after the 2012 Olympics, expresses his belief in Joshua's return to boxing this year, stating, 'I don't think there are any guarantees, but I expect him to because it's something he loves and can carry with him through this difficult time.' Hearn acknowledges the physical and mental challenges Joshua has faced, emphasizing that he is not yet ready to return to full boxing training.
