Two close friends of British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua, Sina Ghami and Kevin Lateef Ayodele, died in a car crash in Lagos, Nigeria, on Monday morning, according to Joshua's camp. Joshua himself sustained minor injuries in the accident, which occurred around 11 a.m. on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The Ogun state police commissioner, Lanre Ogunlowo, reported that Joshua's car collided with a stationary vehicle. The driver of Joshua's vehicle also sustained injuries and was hospitalized. Joshua was taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.

An official spokesman for Joshua released a statement confirming the deaths of Ghami and Ayodele. "It is with the deepest and most profound sadness that we confirm, following a road traffic accident in Lagos, Nigeria earlier today, the death of Sina Ghami and Kevin Lateef Ayodele," the statement read. "Both were close friends and integral members of" Joshua's team. The statement did not elaborate on the specific roles Ghami and Ayodele played within Joshua's team.
