Anthony Joshua, the British-Nigerian boxing champion, recently survived a tragic car crash in Ogun State, Nigeria, that claimed the lives of two of his closest team members and left the boxing world reeling. Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu spoke with Joshua and his mother after the accident, offering condolences and prayers — and it was her name that surfaced again and again, not just as family but as a source of spiritual grounding for her son during one of his darkest moments.
In a culture where prayer isn’t ritual but language, the strength of Joshua’s mother — Yeta Odusanya — feels like a lifeline. She has stood with him through his rise, lived with him even in adulthood out of closeness and cultural values, and now carries the emotional weight of this tragedy with a dignity that feels beyond explanation. Joshua himself has spoken in the past about the importance of family and prayer in his journey through wins, losses, and faith-tested moments.
