Anthony Joshua has made his first public appearance since the death of close friends Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele as he arrived at The O2 Arena to support Derek Chisora.<\/p>\n
Two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua was involved in a fatal car crash in Nigeria on December 29, which killed Ghami and Ayodele.<\/p>\n

Joshua has kept a low profile in recent months after he attended the funeral of his close friends and Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has reiterated ‘AJ’ needs time to heal, but the duo were together on Saturday for Chisora’s 50th and final fight of his career as he took on Deontay Wilder in London.<\/p>\n
Dressed in a white tracksuit, Joshua emerged with Hearn from a black people carrier and cut a calm figure as he walked into the arena past a number of camera crews.<\/p>\n
