Victims Identified in Joshua Crash: Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele

Commentary: Sina “Evolve” Ghami, the man who kept Anthony Joshua functional through some of the hardest stretches of his career, was killed in the road accident in Ogun State. He was 44.

Ghami was travelling with close friend Kevin “Latz” Ayodele, known to many as @healthy_mindset on Instagram. Ayodele was AJ’s personal trainer.  Both men in the front seats were killed on impact. Joshua was  sitting in the back. That detail matters. In collisions like this, the rear seat can buy you space. It can buy you seconds. Sometimes it buys you life. This time, it did. Joshua escaped with minor injuries. That positioning likely saved his life.

Early accounts point to a loss of control during an overtaking move on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway. That’s the only confirmed detail so far.

Authorities haven’t flagged anything beyond a standard traffic incident. No secondary vehicle. No mechanical failure on record. Just a misjudged move on a stretch of road that punishes hesitation and overconfidence the same way.

Fact is, two lives were lost. That is the reality.

The man behind the work

Ghami never chased attention. He worked where the damage happened. He understood how to keep a heavyweight functional when the wear started to show. Recovery, balance, load management and the unglamorous work that keeps careers alive.

RIP Sina Ghami and Kevin “Latif / Latz” Ayodele. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends and AJ.

Before his name circulated around fight gyms, Ghami had already built credibility across elite sport. His time in the United States shaped a practical, results-first approach that later defined Evolve Gym in Ruislip. It wasn’t a showroom. It was a working space for athletes who needed fixing, not branding.

Losses like this don’t announce themselves loudly. They show up later, when the knowledge and instincts that held everything together are suddenly gone. The damage isn’t immediate. It accumulates.

Statement from East Side Boxing:
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of Sina Ghami and Kevin Ayodele during this devastating time.
