The phenomenal physical form of Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KO) often saved him in the ring, but this week it saved his life. Kayode Adeniyi, who was driving the car during the accident, was charged with dangerous driving causing death, but the driver himself claims that the brakes failed at a critical moment.
Initially, Joshua was sitting next to the driver on this trip. But the driver asked him to move because he couldn't see the side mirror due to the boxer's height and size. AJ complied, and this decision saved his life. If he had stayed in place, he would have had almost no chance of survival.
It should be recalled that two of Joshua's friends and members of his coaching staff tragically died in this accident. According to British media reports, Joshua has already flown from Nigeria back home to the UK.
