Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has resumed gym training just weeks after being involved in a devastating road accident that claimed the lives of two key members of his inner circle.

The fatal crash happened on December 29 along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway. Joshua was traveling in a Lexus SUV with his team when the vehicle collided with a stationary truck parked by the roadside.

While Joshua escaped with minor injuries, the accident proved fatal for his personal trainer, Kevin Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, both of whom died at the scene.

The 36-year-old boxer received immediate medical attention in Nigeria and was later discharged. He subsequently returned to the United Kingdom, accompanying the remains of his late colleagues, and took part in their funeral prayers at a mosque in London.

On Thursday, Joshua made his first public appearance since the tragedy by sharing photos and videos of himself back in the gym. The posts marked his return to training less than three weeks after the incident.

One clip showed the former two-time world heavyweight champion engaging in light sparring, followed by strength work, coordination drills, spinning exercises, and swimming. He captioned the sparring video “Mental strength therapy,” offering a glimpse into how he is coping during the recovery process.

Joshua has kept a low profile since the crash, speaking publicly only to honor his late teammates and acknowledge the emotional toll of the loss.

While his return to training suggests a slow and deliberate move toward normal life, there is still no official word on when—or if—Joshua plans to return to competitive boxing in the near future.
