Eddie Hearn has provided a touching tribute to Anthony Joshua's friends who tragically died this week in a car crash.
Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele passed away while travelling alongside Joshua, who was hurt, in a vehicle which was involved in an accident in Nigeria on Monday.
They were the former world heavyweight champion's friends, as well as important cogs in his boxing training team.
"Rest in peace 'Latz' and Sina," Joshua's promoter Hearn posted to social media on New Year's Eve.
"Your energy and loyalty among so many other great qualities will be deeply missed.
"Praying for strength and guidance for all their family, friends and of course AJ during this very difficult time."
Frank Warren, the promoter of Joshua's in-ring rival Tyson Fury, told ITV: "This is an awful time for everybody. Hopefully AJ has come out of it physically well.
"But, mentally is a different issue. I don't know if he'll even have the appetite to fight again, or whether he will fight again.
"Only time will tell."
Joshua had signalled his intention to pursue a long-awaited fight with British rival Fury in 2026, after knocking out Jake Paul.
Fury, who is officially retired, had dropped a series of social media hints about returning to the boxing ring but those plans are now unknown after the tragedy in Nigeria this week.
Fury was among the boxers to pass on their condolences, posting: "This is so sad. May God give them a good bed in heaven."
Joshua remains in a stable condition in hospital. His representative told ESPN that his injuries have not worsened since the accident.
