"The west Londoner said that despite being part of Joshua's inner circle, the group had always remained grounded. "You'd never see those guys around thinking they were better than anyone else. "I knew Latif as one of my close friends, and he radiated that outwardly, inwardly and that's why so many people have so much good things to say about him. "His character was always about spreading love, positivity and faith to those around him." Handout"
"Adeyole's Islamic faith played a central role in his life and he was committed to giving back to London's communities. "Latif would always say: 'Never hold a grudge, you don't know someone else's story. You deal with people in compassion, and you always resolve issues with your brothers and sisters.' "That was him. He helped me a lot when I was not in a good place. He took me as I was. We travelled to Morocco together and I realised he wasn't just a friend, he was family.""
In South Ruislip, north-west London, a community mourns the deaths of Sina Ghami and Latif Adeyole. The pair were traveling with heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua and another passenger when their vehicle collided with a truck on a major road near Lagos, Nigeria, on 29 December. Ghami worked as Joshua's rehabilitation coach and Adeyole served as his personal trainer and mentor. Friends and colleagues described the group as humble, grounded and committed to supporting others. Adeyole's Islamic faith guided his community work and compassion toward others. Both men's warmth and kindness left a lasting impact on local gyms and friends.
