Joshua Honors Mothers of Late Trainers on Mother's Day

Anthony Joshua marked Mothers Day with an emotional gathering on Sunday, honoring not only his own mother but also the mothers of his late friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, who were killed in a car crash in Nigeria last December. The 36-year-old former heavyweight champion organized the event, bringing together family members to celebrate and remember those lost, in a display of support that highlighted his close bonds with the families.

Videos from the celebration, shared on social media, captured Joshua dancing and embracing the mothers amid a lively atmosphere filled with music and guests. In a heartfelt speech, Joshua addressed the group, saying, "To come under one roof and celebrate our mothers, celebrate our brothers, celebrate those that are not with us, celebrate those that are with us. Knowing that all of our fate will one day come. We just stay strong until that day. We pray for our transition and just to be great in the afterlife." He continued, expressing gratitude to the mothers for raising Ghami and Ayodele, whom he described as central figures in his life: "Thank you, mums, for giving me Latz and Sina for so many years, looking over me. I appreciate it a lot."
