ANTHONY JOSHUA "SCREAMING IN PAIN" AS FATAL LEXUS WRECK KILLS TWO CLOSE FRIENDS
Heavyweight Anthony Joshua is stable in a Lagos hospital after a fatal Lexus crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway killed two friends.
After a brutal car wreck in Nigeria that killed two of his buddies, Anthony Joshua reportedly cried out in pain. He's spending New Year's Eve in a fancy Nigerian hospital.
Joshua, the champ, was riding in a black Lexus that crashed into a parked truck on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Makun, Nigeria.
Sadly, two of his longtime friends, Sina Ghami and Kevin Latif Ayodele, didn't make it. Two other people in the car survived.
Sources close to Joshua say he'll be in the hospital for at least a couple more days. Insiders say he was screaming in pain as they pulled him from the wrecked car.
Someone at the scene caught footage of the boxer grimacing before he was put in a police car.
After the crash, Joshua was rushed to Duchess International Hospital in Lagos, which is considered the best private hospital in Nigeria.
Local police told Daily Mail Sport that Joshua is stable with only minor injuries, but there's worry that they could be worse than people are saying.
Police say the car crash happened because of a tyre blowout that made Joshua's Lexus spin out of control.
The Telegraph says traffic police think the car was going too fast (over 50 mph) and lost control while trying to pass another car on a road that locals say is super dangerous.
Babatunde Akinbiyi, a police commander, said the car's tyre blew out because it was going way too fast.
An eyewitness told the Punch newspaper, "There were two cars: a Lexus SUV and a Pajero SUV."
Joshua was sitting behind the driver, with someone else next to him. Another person was sitting next to the driver, so there were four people in the Lexus that crashed. His security was in the car behind them.
Other people and I helped rescue them and flagged down cars to help. A few minutes later, the Federal Road Safety Corps showed up.
Nigeria's president said that Joshua's mom, Yeta Odusanya, rushed to the hospital to be with him after she heard about the crash.
The hospital has a fancy service called the Harley Street Practice on the sixth floor, with Royal Suites for VIP patients.
Patients get personal care around the clock and access to medical and hospitality staff. They also get gourmet meals made just for them.
The basic Royal Suite with a bathroom starts at £2,000.
Joshua's representative put out a statement confirming the deaths of his two team members and close friends:
It's with deep sadness that we have to say that Sina Ghami and Kevin Lateef Ayodele died in a car accident in Lagos, Nigeria, earlier today.
They were close friends and important members of Anthony's team.
Please give their families space and privacy as they deal with this shocking news.
Anthony was hurt in the accident and taken to the hospital for checks and treatment. He's stable and will stay there for observation.
We won't be sharing any more information right now.
Joshua's rival, Tyson Fury, honoured the two men who died in the crash in an Instagram post:
"This is so sad," wrote Fury. May God give them a good place in heaven.
The crash happened at midday, just 10 days after Joshua beat Jake Paul in Miami.
The Daily Mail said that Joshua was visiting family in Nigeria for a week before starting training for a fight in late March, probably in Saudi Arabia against Rico Verhoeven, before a possible fight with Fury in September or October.
Even though we don't know exactly how badly Joshua is hurt, it's not likely he'll be ready to fight soon. There's also the emotional stuff he'll have to deal with after the accident that killed two other people in the car.
EGIS KLIMAS CONFIRMS MULTI-FIGHT AGREEMENT FOR OLEKSANDR USYK VS DEONTAY WILDER 2026
Oleksandr Usyk's manager, Egis Klimas, confirms a "very likely" 2026 fight against Deontay Wilder in either Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
A possible fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder may happen at the following time, according to Usyk’s manager.
In 2025, Oleksandr Usyk had only one bout in the ring, where he knocked out Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their rematch.
After that fight, there were rumours that the Ukrainian may retire from the sport because of had almost cleared out the heavyweight division.
Despite that, rumours were soon debunked, and the former undisputed heavyweight champion announced that he would be interested in facing former heavyweight title holder Deontay Wilder.
Usyk’s Manager Offers Date for Wilder Bout
It was reported a few weeks ago that Usyk had voluntarily relinquished his WBO heavyweight title. As a result, he is no longer undisputed.
Shortly after that announcement, the 38-year-old revealed he would like to fight ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ deeming him ‘one of the greatest heavyweights of the last 10 years.’
And when he was at the Night of the Samurai event last week, Usyk again was asked about his next potential opponent, and he repeated his desire to face Wilder.
On the likelihood of the fight, Usyk’s representative Egis Klimas told The National, “It’s very likely (we will see Usyk vs. Wilder). Because right now we’re working on it, and we’re working on some multi-fight agreement for Oleksandr.
“As soon as we confirm that, we’re going to jump in. And some talks are already going on with the team of Wilder. We’re looking at Las Vegas or Los Angeles, and the dates are the end of April and the beginning of May.”
The Ukrainian hasn't boxed Stateside since 2019, when he faced Chazz Witherspoon in his first heavyweight bout.
The selection of Wilder, however, is quite surprising, given his recent performance. The 40-year-old boxer is 2-3 in his last five bouts, suffering defeats at the hands of Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker, and Tyson Fury.
Would Usyk retire after the upcoming fight with Wilder? At the age of 38, the reality is that Usyk very likely has only a few bouts left in him at the very most. With the bulk of the heavyweight rankings already knocked out, there would be very little opposition left in the sport for Usyk, and retirement after a bout with Wilder would be expected.
32-0 AND COUNTING: IS NAOYA INOUE OFFICIALLY THE GREATEST OF THIS GENERATION?
Naoya Inoue wraps up a flawless 2025, tying Muhammad Ali’s record with four undisputed title defences in a single calendar year.
Inoue wrapped up 2025 with a flawless 4-0, defending his super-bantamweight title four times around the globe and proving he's the best in boxing. Beating Alan Picasso put him back on top of the pound-for-pound rankings, solidifying his place as the sport's biggest name.
Lots of fighters had great moments this year, but no one else showed the same level of consistent dominance, historical importance, and activity that Inoue did.
An Amazing Year of Championship Wins
Inoue finished the year with a 32-0 record (27 KOs) after wins against Ye Joon Kim, Ramon Cardenas, Murodjon Akhmadaliev, and Alan Picasso. Each fight showed his command of the division, from quick knockouts to smart, well-fought decision wins against top contenders.
People noticed his cool demeanour, accuracy, and how he changes his strategy during fights, proving why he's considered the best.
Looking back at 2025, Inoue said, I wasn't sure about it myself, but I'll do my best to meet your expectations. To everyone who came to Riyadh and cheered us on, thanks a lot for your support.
We had so much support this year. Thanks! Happy New Year!
By successfully defending all four major belts four times this year, Inoue is the only male undisputed world champ left in boxing. He stayed active without injuries or performance drops, which set him apart from everyone else with a title.
While others picked and chose their fights, Inoue was always ready to put his title on the line.
Historical Wins and Worldwide Success
Besides being undefeated, Inoue's 2025 was historically awesome. He tied Muhammad Ali's record by defending the undisputed title four times in a single year.
Inoue also set a new record for the most consecutive world title fight wins, beating records held by Floyd Mayweather and Joe Louis.
His consistency across different countries was just as impressive. Inoue had amazing performances in Japan, the US, and Saudi Arabia, proving he's not just a local star but the most complete global champ in the sport.
This year, Inoue was the best in every category.
While other fighters had strong arguments, no one maintained undisputed control while building their legacy like Inoue did this year.
Inoue's multiple title defences made him the obvious choice.
A Familiar Honour, Earned Again
This is Inoue's second time winning WBN Fighter of the Year, after his undisputed wins in two divisions in 2023.
Winning again shows how great he is at the highest level of boxing. Very few fighters today have combined dominance with constant activity while adding to their legacy.
What's Next?
As 2025 ends, Inoue is not just boxing’s top champ, but the standard for sustained dominance. His wins have him moving from talking about what he could do to what his legacy will be. Future performances will be compared to what he’s already done.
The win over Picasso and return to number one P4P just shows he's unmatched.
