Anthony Joshua crash: Driver case adjourned to March

The case against the driver involved in the fatal car crash that injured Anthony Joshua has been adjourned by a court in Nigeria until March.

Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode appeared at Sagamu Magistrates Court in Ogun state on Wednesday.

The 46-year-old faces multiple charges, including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid licence.

Proceedings have been paused until 13 March after prosecutors requested further time to prepare evidence.

Tragic loss for boxing star

The two-time world heavyweight champion was a passenger when the Lexus SUV collided with a stationary lorry on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Latif Ayodele, Joshua’s personal trainer, and Sina Ghami, his strength coach, both died at the scene on 29 December.

Joshua, 36, spent two days in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries before being discharged.

Kayode was making his second appearance in court regarding the incident in south-west Nigeria.

He has yet to enter a formal plea to the charges, which also include reckless and negligent driving.
