British boxing superstar Anthony Joshua narrowly escaped death in a horrific car crash on the Lagos‑Ibadan Expressway, which tragically claimed the lives of two of his close friends and trainers, Sina Ghami and Lateef “Latz” Ayodele. The accident has sparked global attention, with fans and media asking: How did Joshua survive?
Tunde Ednut, Nigerian influencer and social media personality, shared a viral diagram on Instagram explaining exactly why Joshua survived. According to the graphic, several key factors played a role in saving the boxing champion’s life:
1. Positioning in the vehicle: Joshua and the driver were seated on the side opposite the impact, which significantly reduced the force absorbed during the collision.
2. Impact side: The two passengers who died were unfortunately on the side that bore the brunt of the crash.
3. Vehicle dynamics: Early reports suggest the SUV may have been involved in a tyre burst before the collision, causing it to lose control and hit a stationary truck.
4. Crash physics: Experts note that the way the vehicle’s force was distributed during the crash contributed to Joshua surviving with only minor injuries.
