Anthony Joshua returns to UK for Chisora final fight

Published April 5, 2026 · Updated April 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has made his first public appearance in the UK since surviving a fatal car crash, attending Derek Chisora’s farewell bout.

Joshua arrived at the O2 Arena in a white tracksuit to support Chisora against Deontay Wilder. The visit marked his return following the death of close friends Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele in a crash on December 29.

Although promoter Eddie Hearn noted AJ needed time to heal, the boxer appeared calm. While rival Wilder ignored him, Joshua spoke positively about British boxing during a ringside interview, backing Chisora despite the close loss.
