British media reported on Saturday that Joshua returned home ahead of Ghami and Ayodele’s funerals.

Ghami was Joshua’s strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was a coach. Just hours before the accident, Joshua and Ayodele posted clips on social media playing table tennis together.

The driver of the vehicle, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, was uploaded on friday for dangerous and reckless driving, and the court case was adjourned to January 20 for trial.
