The funeral prayer for Sina Ghami and Abdul Latif Kevin Ayodele, close associates of British-Nigerian boxing champion Anthony Joshua, will take place on Sunday, January 4, 2026, in London.

The Janaza service is scheduled to hold at 10:00 a.m. at the London Central Mosque, located at 146 Park Road, London NW8 7RG.

The bodies of the deceased were recently repatriated to the United Kingdom following a fatal road accident that occurred in Nigeria late last year.

Confirming the arrangements in a statement on Saturday, Boxing King Media expressed condolences to the families of the deceased.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones during this difficult time,” the statement read.

Ghami and Ayodele died on Monday, December 29, 2025, in a road crash along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, around the Makun area of Ogun State.

The accident involved a Lexus SUV conveying Anthony Joshua and his team, which reportedly collided with a stationary truck.

While Joshua sustained minor injuries, his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, and his personal trainer, popularly known as Latif “Latz” Ayodele, were confirmed dead at the scene.
