Anthony Joshua Steps Out in Public for the First Time Since Tragic Loss to Support Derek Chisora
Following the tragic loss of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele, Anthony Joshua has made his first public appearance, attending an event at the O2 Arena to show his support for Derek Chisora. Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, was involved in a fatal car accident in Nigeria on December 29, which claimed the lives of Ghami and Ayodele. After maintaining a low profile in recent months, Joshua was accompanied by promoter Eddie Hearn as they arrived at the arena for Chisora's potential final bout against Deontay Wilder. Wearing a white tracksuit, Joshua appeared calm as he entered the venue, passing by numerous camera crews. The two boxers share a connection, having both originated from the same Finchley amateur boxing club, and Joshua's management company now represents Chisora. However, there was no warm greeting from Wilder, who has been linked to a world title bout with Joshua in the past. Instead, Wilder walked straight past Joshua in a narrow corridor within the O2. Joshua's last fight took place before Christmas, when he defeated Jake Paul, and speculation surrounding a potential match with Tyson Fury continues to grow.
