Prayers are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., allowing family members, friends, and figures from the boxing community to gather and pay their final respects.

The bodies of Ghami and Ayodele were recently repatriated to the United Kingdom after the fatal incident, which occurred on Monday, December 29, 2025.

Confirmation of the funeral arrangements was shared on Saturday in a statement by Boxing King Media, which read: “Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones.”

Ghami served as Anthony Joshua’s strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was his personal trainer.

Both men were travelling with Joshua when their Lexus SUV collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.

Ghami and Ayodele were pronounced dead at the scene. Joshua survived the crash and reportedly sustained only minor injuries.
