Anthony Joshua’s family has affirmed their unwavering support should he decide to return to the boxing ring.
The former heavyweight champion’s career hangs in the balance following the tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his strength coach, Sina Ghami, and personal trainer, Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Joshua was hospitalized in the aftermath but has since been discharged.
In an interview with Punch, Joshua’s uncle, Ademola Joshua, emphasized that the family will stand firmly behind him, whatever path he chooses.
“We are proud of him, very proud of him. ThWee way we, the elderly, think is very different from theirs, but it is all at his discretion. He makes the full decision, and we have full respect for him, whatever he decides.
“Whatever he has decided within himself, we will support him fully. Each time he’s knocked down, it is just like the heart is coming out of our chest.
“All these emotional feelings whenever he’s fighting, it’s too much trauma for us also,” Ademola said.
