Anthony Joshua’s family does not want driver jailed after fatal crash
Anthony Joshua’s uncle has stated that the boxer would not want the driver involved in the accident that killed two of his friends to be sent to jail. The crash, which claimed the lives of Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, has led to court proceedings against the driver, Adeniyi Kayode. The family emphasized their lack of interest in seeing Kayode imprisoned, citing compassion and the accidental nature of the incident. Both Anthony Joshua and Kayode sustained minor injuries in the crash.
