The Janaza (funeral) prayer for Sina Ghami and Abdul Latif Kevin Ayodele, close friends of former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, has been scheduled for Sunday, January 4, 2026, in London.


The remains of Ghami and Ayodele were recently repatriated to the United Kingdom following the fatal road crash that occurred in Nigeria late last year.


According to a statement released on Saturday and shared by Boxing King Media, the funeral prayer will commence at 10 a.m. at the London Central Mosque, located at 146 Park Road, London NW8 7RG.


“Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones,” the statement read.


Ghami and Ayodele lost their lives in a tragic road accident on Monday, December 29, 2025. The accident, which also involved Anthony Joshua, occurred along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in the Makun area of Ogun State.


The Lexus SUV conveying Joshua reportedly collided with a stationary truck, killing his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, and his personal trainer, Latif “Latz” Ayodele, on the spot. Joshua sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital.


The funeral service in London is expected to provide an opportunity for family members, friends, and members of the global boxing community to pay their final respects to the deceased.
