Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele: Emotional Anthony Joshua Honours Friends Killed In Nigeria With New Tattoos [PHOTOS]
British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua, has paid a moving tribute to two of his close associates, Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, by tattooing their names on his body months after they died in a car crash along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.
The development was revealed by a London-based tattoo studio, Fulham Tattoo, which shared photos of the artwork on Instagram on Thursday.
According to the studio, the former two-time heavyweight champion visited their shop unannounced for the session, marking his first time at the facility.
“Huge thank you to two-time heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua for unexpectedly and unannounced walking through the door a few weeks ago for his first visit with us at Fulham Tattoo London … what a walk in,” the post read.
The tribute tattoos were dedicated to Ghami and Ayodele, who were both members of Joshua’s training team.
TGM recalls that Ghami and Ayodele lost their lives in December after the vehicle they were travelling in collided with a truck on a road near Lagos.
Joshua, who was also in the vehicle at the time of the accident, survived but sustained injuries. He was subsequently hospitalised before being discharged and returning to the United Kingdom.
The late Ghami served as Joshua’s strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was one of his trainers.
Despite the emotional toll, Joshua later attended the funerals of both men, joining family members, friends and members of the boxing community in mourning their deaths.
Recall that the Lexus Jeep conveying the boxer and his associates rammed into a stationary truck on December 29, 2025, along the busy expressway.
The tragic incident sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria and the international boxing scene, with fans and colleagues paying glowing tributes to the deceased members of Joshua’s team.
Many described Ghami and Ayodele as dedicated professionals who played key roles in Joshua’s career, while sympathising with the boxer over the painful loss.
