British heavyweight boxing star Anthony Joshua is continuing his recovery process after a devastating car accident late last year, sharing updates on the intense physical therapy he is undergoing to heal his injuries.
The 36-year-old former world champion revealed that he has been receiving treatment on his ribs as part of ongoing rehabilitation months after the crash that shook the boxing world.
Joshua recently posted images on Snapchat showing what appeared to be a painful rib therapy session, highlighting the physical toll the accident has taken on his body as he works toward full recovery.
The accident occurred on December 29 in Nigeria and proved to be a life-changing moment for the boxing star.
Tragic Loss After the Crash
While Joshua survived the crash, the accident resulted in the heartbreaking loss of two people close to him.
His longtime personal trainer, Kevin “Latz” Ayodele, and his therapist, Sina Ghami, both died in the crash, leaving the boxer and those close to him mourning the tragic loss.
The incident shocked fans and members of the boxing community around the world, especially as it came shortly after Joshua had been celebrating a major victory in the ring.
Just ten days before the crash, Joshua had defeated YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a widely publicized bout in Miami.
The win had been seen as a strong moment in his career before the accident abruptly shifted attention away from boxing and toward his health and personal recovery.
Long Road to Recovery
Since the crash, Joshua has focused on physical therapy and medical treatment as he works to regain full strength.
The recent images he shared suggest the recovery process remains physically demanding, particularly with treatment aimed at healing his ribs.
Rib injuries can take significant time to fully recover from, especially for professional athletes whose bodies endure intense physical stress.
Although Joshua has not provided a detailed timeline for his return to training or competition, the update reassured fans that he remains committed to rebuilding his health step by step.
Supporters across social media have continued to send messages of encouragement as the former champion navigates both physical recovery and the emotional impact of losing two close companions.
For now, Joshua’s focus appears to remain firmly on rehabilitation as he gradually works toward returning to full fitness.
