Eddie Hearn Says Anthony Joshua May Never Fight Again After Fatal Nigeria Crash

Hearn describes Joshua’s current gym work as recovery-focused rather than a return to competition.

Overview

  • Hearn, who visited Joshua in Dubai, said the injuries are not expected to be long-term but will take time to heal before any boxing decision is considered.
  • Joshua has shared light training clips he called “mental strength therapy,” which his promoter stressed is not preparation for a fight camp.
  • The December road collision near Lagos killed close team members Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, with Joshua sustaining minor injuries after a last-minute seat swap.
  • Driver Adeniyi Kayode has been charged in Ogun State with causing death by dangerous driving and related offenses, and the case was adjourned to February 25 with bail granted.
  • Public signals on Joshua’s future remain mixed after an uncle’s retirement claim was countered by Oleksandr Usyk, who said he heard a desire to continue.
