I don’t usually post things like this, but this story really stayed with me.

Anthony Joshua was in Nigeria on vacation with two close friends. Just about an hour before the accident, they were playing table tennis together. One of the friends even posted a photo of the road shortly before everything happened.

Later that day, their car crashed into a stationary truck on the highway. Joshua survived because he was sitting in the back seat. His two friends didn’t make it.

What really hit me is how fast life can change. One moment you’re laughing, playing games, enjoying life — and the next moment everything is gone.

I also saw a lot of conspiracy talk online about Jake Paul and contracts and all that. Personally, I don’t buy into that, but it shows how people try to make sense of something shocking when it happens.

For me, the biggest takeaway is how fragile life actually is. Success, fame, money — none of it protects you from moments like this. It made me reflect a lot on decisions, priorities, and not taking time or people for granted.

I shared my full thoughts in a video because I needed to get it out of my system. If anyone wants to watch, I’ll put the link in the comments.

I’m curious what you guys think:

•	Do moments like this change how you look at life?

•	Do fighters and athletes live with a different kind of pressure knowing how fast everything can disappear?

• Sina was his strength and conditioning coach, who can be seen here preparing him for his Jake Paul fight 2 weeks ago

• Latz was AJ’s personal trainer

Badou Jack also confirmed one of those who passed away in today’s accident was Latz and the other was Sina, who were both close with Anthony Joshua.

Again, prayers for everyone involved and all the families 🙏🙏💔

What we’ve learned: you have a much better chance of surviving a car crash if you’re wearing seat belts & sitting in the backseat

I am strangely sad about the accident of Anthony Joshua. I started to know about him after the fight with the YouTuber, and more and more videos of him came in my feed. Not only that, but I liked his strength, kind personality, and cute smile... I know many people - especially women, including me - found out he is like a role model of healthy masculinity.

Yesterday, with the accident, I was very shocked, like I had to cry, and for one hour or more I was just reading and hoping it was fake news that went out of control....we all know they aren't, and now I feel deeply sad. I can't even imagine how it's going to be for him. How unfair this situation is.

I think it was provoked, but independent of that, his two friends are gone!!, and of course, I don't know AJ, but I feel so sad for what he could feel. I wish God or the Universe can give him more strength, but nothing can change that they are gone, that it happened before the new year - in a good year for him-, in his heart-home Nigeria, and in the same car as him.

Honestly, I don't know what I am expecting with posting this. I just haven't stopped thinking about this, and since I just found the same style post mentioning how it happens and all, I feel I needed to do this.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to comment.
