Dec 19, 2025; Miami, Florida, UNITED STATES; Anthony Joshua looks on from the ring before his during a heavyweight boxing bout against Jake Paul at Kaseya Center. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Kayode Adeniyi, the driver involved in the crash that injured two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua and killed two members of his training team, was charged with four counts related to the Dec. 29 incident in Ogun State, Nigeria, on Friday.
Adeniyi was charged at Sagamu Magistrates' Court with counts of dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care or attention causing bodily harm and damage to property and driving without a valid national driver's license.
He pleaded not guilty to all four charges and was released on bail of 5,000,000 Naira ($3,480) ahead of his Jan. 20 trial date.
Joshua was briefly hospitalized after the incident before he was released on Wednesday. Personal trainer Latif Ayodele and strength coach Sini Ghami were the two members of Joshua's party who were killed.
A preliminary investigation indicated that Joshua's car, which was being driven by Adeniyi, was "over-speeding" when a tire burst, leading to loss of control of the SUV, which crashed into a stationary vehicle.
The incident occurred while Joshua was on vacation after his sixth-round knockout victory over Jake Paul on Netflix on Dec. 19.
